The Live Literature Room is a project room and event space for projects and performances relating to Literature and Creative Writing.
The room was set up by the Literature and Creative Writing team with funds from a National Teaching Award (Helen Day). It has become the centre of our subject area and is used for a range of activities including teaching, project work and events. It teaches students how to decorate and organise the space, learn new technologies, and market events, as well as to host a range of events from Open Mic Nights to Book and Journal Launches to Mental Health Awareness Events. Students also use the room for societies such as the English Society and Creative Writing Society.
