Oxford Street, London
Now that our Oxford Street branch is up and running, there are so many exciting things on the horizon, from events to collaborations. Deb's book with Mark Constantine is published on March 13th 2025 and charts our journey to Oxford Street, whilst giving valuable advice to small business owners in the form of poetry prescriptions - of course. We have a few new bottles of restorative medicine in production: including 'Restore' with proceeds going to the charity Doctors in Distress.
We're also working on hosting events in Oxford Street that accept the busy hustle and bustle of this space, such as Jen Feroze with her vintage typewriter, composing poems to order, as well as some exciting events with publishers of world renowned poetry. We're working with Liz Ison on new Poetry Walks which will explore literary London, and lastly, we're excited to have our own Poetry Prescription anthologies, published by Macmillan!
All of these will be available from our 'shop'.
To keep up with developments do make sure you're following us on social media - you can find us here on instagram, and here on tiktok where our London team have been posting lots of excellent content! And of course, you can sign up to our newsletter on the front page.
Online Events/Workshops
Book here for online courses and workshops.
As always we aim to host the country’s best poets and workshop leaders, with a strong emphasis on good mental health and wellbeing, and hope our new online offering will be accessible to those who can’t make it to the Poetry Pharmacy itself.
We are working on putting together an exciting program of innovative course leaders and content!
