Tutor: Ruth McLoughlin

I am a newly retired English Literature teacher from a leading London school, and my qualifications include a Doctorate from Oxford University in contemporary Irish poetry. Alongside being Second in the English Department, I led the school for many years in Academic Partnerships. Now I am keen to share my passion for great writing with like-minded souls in Woodbridge and the surrounding area.

This event is part of Third Space. Every Wednesday, we're opening New Street Market for free or low-cost events centering community and togetherness. We'll be hosting fun, thought-provoking, and social gatherings with a wide range of vibes. Get out of the house, leave work behind you, and join us for the night.
