Welcome to Exeter's Bright Write, a storytelling programme for ages 8–11 that helps children become confident, skilled writers.
About this Event

Ready to turn big ideas into a finished story?

Join Clare for a structured three-session, story writing series where children will plan, write, and complete their very own original story — building sentence-level skills and confidence every step of the way.

Each session builds on the last, guiding young writers through the full storytelling journey in a fun, supportive environment.


Small Group Size: Maximum of 8



At The End of The Programme Your Child Will Gain:
  • A clear understanding of story structure
  • Stronger sentence construction
  • Richer vocabulary
  • More writing confidence
  • A finished story to take home and celebrate!


Each 2 hour session costs £20 per child. The total cost to join the 3-session series is £60 for 6 hours of storywriting fun! Booking the full series before 1st March secures the £60 rate. Monthly bookings (1st–9th of each month) total £65, as separate processing incurs additional platform fees.
