So come and join us for a Creative Writing workshop at Philleigh Way, combining the stunning location with good food and inspiring prompts from writer and workshop leader Emily Wheeler.

We welcome everyone, whether you haven’t written for years or you write every day. In a relaxed and informal group environment, we’ll take some dedicated time to generate ideas, get words on paper, and perhaps even be brave enough to share what we’ve come up with. If you need creative confidence and motivation, or want to use writing to enhance your wellbeing, Emily will get you started in the right direction.

With lunch and refreshments provided throughout the day, we’ll enjoy the unique setting on the Roseland, making the most of the historic buildings and private beaches to inspire our creativity.
