Poetry / Spoken Word Residency - August 2024

We would like to hear from spoken-word performers and storytellers who are keen to develop new work in a nourishing environment

This residency will take place from 14th August to 11th September 2024.

This is a fully funded residency that includes exclusive studio space in our Tower Studio, accommodation in one of our Hobbit Pods, and a weekly stipend of £350.

There are no expectations about what you will use the residency for but we would expect the selected artist to conduct at least one public event such as a creative workshop (for adult participants), a talk, demonstration, performance or educational activity.

You will be able to spend time with other visual artists and makers on site, along with another visiting artist also on residency. Our Creative Director, Dr James Fox will provide mentorship during your stay.

The Marchmont Estate is situated in a rural area with very little public transport. A car is recommended during your stay but is not essential.
All bed linens and towels are provided
Accommodation is fully self catering
Groceries can be delivered to the Estate by supermarkets in Berwick Upon Tweed
