Face-to-Face Creative Writing Course

Activity Description

Our in-person course launches on the 25th-29th May, 2026.

A five-day creative writing and illustration experience where children learn by doing, playing, and imagining together.
Using drama, storytelling, art, and structured writing activities, children build their book step by step with experienced leaders supporting them throughout.
