Drop into WRAP’s Valentine’s Day Love-in for free cards, love poems and more!

Published: 10/02/2022

This Valentine’s Day, no one goes unloved.

Head to Newton on City Campus to get involved with WRAP’s (Writing, Reading and Pleasure) Valentine’s Day Love-in.

They'll be in the Central Court between 11 am – 2 pm on Monday 14 February with free cards and love poems written on-demand by our WRAP ambassadors.

You can also write a short message for someone, or something, close to your heart for their 'Tree of Love' inspired by the Japanese Tanabata tradition.

Submit your work for the All About Love anthology

There’s also the opportunity to see your words in print in the upcoming WRAP anthology - All About Love - which will be published in May. All you have to do is write up to 500 words about someone, something, or somewhere you love: articles, descriptions, poems, or stories about anything from a family recipe to a favourite team, to a holiday, to a piece of art, music, or to that someone special.

The deadline to enter is 5 pm on Thursday 31 March.

If you’d like a second opinion on your writing, join an online drop-in session from 1 – 2 pm on Monday 21 March.

Submit your entry online or email wrap@ntu.ac.uk if you have any questions.
