Nottinghamshire is awash with literary locations from the Arboretum to the Zara building. In this course you’ll discover many of the places that have influenced the life and work of our writers. Via presentations, illustrations and videos you’ll visit pubs, churches, theatres and some more unlikely venues, as we span the county learning about our writers and their literature.

You will discover how local destinations have inspired different writing as Nottinghamshire’s remarkable literary heritage is highlighted. Hear about the lost, little-known and well-loved locations that have links with different forms of literature including novels, poetry, scripts and non-fiction.
