£5 per child, accompanying adults free.
Suitable for ages 9 – 13.

Join writer and performer Rob Walton for a fun and interactive creative writing workshop. You’ll hear stories from Rob’s latest book, ‘Please Don’t Read The Footnotes, Please’, before trying your hand at writing your own super short stories. You’ll write speedy flash fiction, try your hand at turning a traditional tale on its head and use prompts to start your very own collection of stories or poems. You don’t need any previous experience, and this workshop is perfect for anyone wanting to bring their stories to life.
Everyone attending can also find out more about our Young Writers Groups, which will be open to new members in September.
