Free Creative Writing Workshops

Do you enjoy creative writing, making up stories and playing with words?

Everyone has a story to tell and their own unique perspective. Come to our creative writing workshops and find ways to explore and develop your story creating skills. Through enjoyable activities and sharing ideas we will develop our own stories in a fun, relaxed and informal way. 

We will be creating fiction that celebrates and explores The Sandy Lane area – reflecting back to the Sandy Lane community and heritage of the past, capturing how local folk use it in the present and also looking to the future of this important community hub.

All are welcome! Particularly if you know Skelmersdale and the surrounding area. We’d love to hear your stories and help you find ways to capture them on the page for a wider audience to enjoy. Each workshop will include writing activities, shared discussion and examples of great writing to help us access, develop and enjoy our creativity. The workshops are open to all 16+, whether you’re a seasoned writer or you have never done anything like this before! Everyone is a storyteller.
