What you'll do

Join Enver and Holly from our Visitor Experience and Engagement team for a workshop where you’ll write a letter to your future self to celebrate your past achievements, no matter how big or small.

We'll display materials from our collection that focus on wellbeing and mental health to inspire you as you write.

All the materials you’ll need, including prompt sheets, paper and pens, will be provided.
