The Poetry Pharmacy comes to OVADA for a special one-day pop-up dedicated to matters of the heart.

Part apothecary, part bookshop and part poetic first-aid station, the Poetry Pharmacy prescribes poems for all manner of emotional ailments. For After Love, the focus will be heartbreak in all its forms: love lost, endings, longing, loneliness, recovery and beginning again.

Drop in for a short one-to-one poetry consultation, where one of our Poetry Pharmacists will listen to what ails you before prescribing a poem and a handwritten prescription to take away. Alongside the consultations, our pop-up dispensary will offer Poetry Pills, books and other poetic remedies to browse and buy.

No appointment necessary.

Age: 14+ for the consultations

The pop-up dispensary itself is open to everyone.

Accessibility
This will take place on the ground floor of the gallery.

Due to the age of our building, unfortunately our toilets are not fully wheelchair accessible. However, there is an accessible toilet available approximately 3mins walk from us at Courtyard Marriot Hotel.

This project is made possible with support from a Research, Development and Engagement Fellowship from the Arts & Humanities Research Council.
