Durham City in Blossom 2024: Blossom songwriting workshop

NEW DATE. Join North East singer-songwriter Sam Slatcher to tap into the creative inspiration of blossom.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

Let Sam lead you on a walk around Crook Hall Gardens to seek inspiration from blossom and nature. Then it's time for a workshop to grow those seeds of ideas into song.

This is a free event, but places are limited so booking is essential. Your booking includes complimentary entry to the gardens if you'd like to stay a while before or after the event.

Sam Slatcher is an independent recording artist, singer-songwriter, and community arts facilitator. Passionate about working in community and encouraging storytelling, Sam’s work takes him across the North East to capture stories through music.
