Are you an aspiring writer? Just starting your writing life? Or at an impasse, stuck and in need of motivation to move forward? Are you developing ideas for screen or stage? Or is poetry your thing?
The Writing Space at the Barn brings people together to work across different genres for a day of creative action. Guided by the workshop leader you will have the space to allow your writing to be reinvigorated, with guidance and encouragement on how to refine your work and realise your ambitions.
In our tranquil light-filled barn you will meet with other writers and benefit from the buzz of creative minds, whilst working on your individual goals. The day will comprise group sessions and individual time to wordsmith your text, with a choice of lovely locations both inside and out to get the maximum benefit from a day in the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
