Writing Workshops

View all Events

Our writing workshop programme connects writers of all experience levels with authors and facilitators in library settings. Delivered in collaboration with Northumberland Libraries, the workshops allow new and experienced writers to try new skills, develop their practice and meet other writers.

Workshops to date have covered life writing, journalling, poetry and prose writing.

Our next workshops are within the HBF26 programme, hosted by Saima Mir, Dave Wibberley and a ‘Routes into Publishing’ with Harry Mann.

Many thanks for a wonderful time up in Hexham, I look forward to a return visit one of these years.

Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful event last night. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed being back in beautiful Hexham - thank you for everything you and the team did to make it all run so smoothly.
Tracy Borman
I feel incredibly lucky to have this festival on my doorstep. It is world class.
Hexham Book festival is a leading creative force in the Northumbrian cultural landscape, with a positive impact on the lives of so many. Locally based, outward-facing, brilliantly organised, and recognised by writers and readers as one of the attractive and dynamic literary festivals.
