Rhymes & Beats: a Free creative writing workshop taking place at Southampton Central Library on Saturday 31st October for young people aged 8-12.

Join Issa for an interactive workshop where rap, poetry and music come together. Play games, listen to tracks, try writing challenges and turn your ideas into lyrics, poems or spoken word.

Whether you already write or just want to try something new, you’ll build confidence, create your own verses and, if you want to, perform them to music— no pressure, just good vibes and creativity.

The workshop is aimed at children aged 8-12, accompanied by an adult.
The event is free, but booking is essential Saturday 31 October 2026 10.30am-12pm
