Gainsborough parents! We've got spaces available in our FREE creative writing group for 10-17s!

Taking place at the immersive Gainsborough Old Hall, our Gainsborough Young Writers' Group is the perfect Saturday morning activity for your 10- to 17-year-old and their friends to encourage their creativity and unleash their imagination.

There's no pressure to join every single workshop, no previous creative writing experience needed and absolutely no cost. Whether your young person loves to write or wants to try out a fun new hobby and make some friends, everybody's welcome!

In each session, your young writer will take part in fun creative writing exercises and have the opportunity to share their writing if they would like to (although there is never any pressure). There will also be the opportunity to perform at events and take part in work experience opportunities.

And don't worry if you can't make all the workshop dates! Sessions are planned as one-off meetings so you don't have to commit to the whole programme if your young person has a busy schedule.
