Super Saturday: Surrealist Summer

Plymouth Laureate of Words Rosemarie Corlett will be offering a surrealism writing workshop. Artist Aliyah Hussian, whose work is featured in Forbidden Territories will be offering workshops for families and adults. Join a family tour that explores the exhibition in a different way, or take a tour with expert Judith Noble who'll be looking at surrealism’s links with spirituality.

The Box Kitchen & Bar will be offering a special for the day: a surreal soup. ‘Midnight in Bloom’, a colour changing pea flower broth with lemongrass, coconut and rice noodles is definitely worth a try and served with a citrus elixir (blended drink).
