Out of school workshops

During out of school hours we work closely with the local community to offer free support for any child who needs extra help and may not have the access or means to the resources to provide it. All of our out of school workshops are developed with professionals to show children just how far their creative writing can take them. There is a real power to seeing something that you have created take on a different form and be presented in a real environment. We will explore everything from podcasting, theatre, film, lyric writing, tour guides, manifestos for our towns and so much more. The fun part is coming up with whatever is next.

  • This powerful project gave under-represented youth a platform to express themselves through poetry, spoken word, and music. Witnessing their confidence blossom at BridLit Festival was truly unforgettable. Watch the performance here

  • "WHAT'S GOING ON?", our quarterly newspaper created by youngsters, highlights their journalistic skills and interviews renowned figures like Cressida Cowell and David Walliams. Watch a short promo film here.

  • The Writers’ Account is a place to write, whether you already write or wish you did. You will be able to experiment, to learn and to develop your talent. All kinds of writers are welcome and all kinds of writing are too, from film script to spoken word, from poetry to play. There will be opportunities to try new forms of writing, to learn directly from professional writers, as well as to invest in your own writing. Come and see what dividends your drafts might pay.

    For 15-18 year olds.
