Creative Writing

Come and join us for an afternoon of poetry on the season of winter. From medieval lyrics to Shakespeare to contemporary writers, we’ll bring some warmth into January with beautiful words.

Make time to work on your novel, memoir, short story, play or poetry in this warm and supportive space.

Read and discuss some great works and discover that they are perfectly approachable and enjoyable by anyone who likes reading, regardless of their academic background.

Come along to this inspiring workshop, meet Carla Jenkins and Ros Huxley, two debut novelists, in conversation with the inimitable Adam Shackleton.

Designed for new and emerging scriptwriters to push their work to a professional level.

In this 8 week course, we’ll explore the contemporary poetry scene in the UK, Ireland and America.

In this course we’ll look at some stories – or ‘stories’ – that don’t play by the rules of beginning, middle and end.

Romance gets a bad press. […]

We’ll be analysing stories by Zadie Smith, Kevin Barry, Yiyun Li, Clare Keegan, and other twenty-first-century greats, and exploring how real-life material can enrich our writing.

This is a course focused purely on writing for the joy of it. It’s been designed for complete beginners and for those with some experience.
