A visit to Keats House will captivate students of all ages. Whether they are studying his poems for public examinations or wanting to gain inspiration for writing their own poems, this is the place to come. The house tour immerses students in Keats’ life story, as a young man dedicated to writing poetry.    Many of the struggles Keats faced, including financial worries, the pressure to adopt a profession, illness and bereavement, issues of the heart, low social status and esteem are all topical present-day challenges which current students relate to. As a result of the varied workshops offered, students should benefit in their examination answers as well as their competence in public speaking. They should also be inspired to write more creatively themselves.
