The Shed

Simon Armitage invites you to step inside his writing shed, nestled in the hills of West Yorkshire, for an intimate and uplifting celebration of conversation and creativity conducted over a proper brew. He’s ready to welcome an eclectic mix of guests in for a natter, with delightfully meandering conversations ranging across the personal and the poetic. Each episode features a tea-break courtesy of friends and partners Yorkshire Tea, and sees Simon present his guests with not only their choice of biscuits but also a hand-picked selection from the ancient poem he’s been translating, Gilgamesh, inscribed on Eucalyptus bark from his garden.
