Made possible with support from Healthy Arts and The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.
The workshop takes place on the first floor of the Stables Courtyard, in the Classroom. Sometimes, if the weather is fine, we will use outdoor spaces for exploring and performing! There is a lift to the first floor, accessible toilets on the ground floor and accessible parking. Aimed at adults but suitable for ages 14+ whether you are a beginner or a more experienced writer.
This project is delivered in partnership by Healthy Arts and Haigh Woodland Park.
