Hi Sarah
Fantastic timing with your email - although I can't come to (much of) the event (as I am on stage performing that afternoon from 3.00pm - less said about that the better).
We have just started a series of free haiku walkshops - on the First Thursday of each month: http://www.museumofwalking.org.uk/events/first-thursday-haiku-on-foot/ as cannily, we realised that National Poetry day falls on Thursday 6th October.
The idea behind this was to reprise an initiative we began in 2011 called haiku walks in which we were to peg / geo-locate haiku across Vancouver: https://haikuwalk.wordpress.com/ - what with one thing another, we never got the funding to do it originally.
Happy to publicise your event across our mailing lists but please could you put me in touch with your presenters as we would love to learn of any pitfalls to avoid etc.
Will the BL app allow users to upload their own poetic creations? That was our intention. We are also publishing haiku written on the walks in a downloadable zine.
Perhaps I could drop in to meet you or you can join the haiku walk on Thursday 3rd March?
Best, Andrew
