Fabulous Fairytales: From Folklore to Modern Stories

Join us for this FREE Creative Writing course for adults aged 19+

Fabulous Fairytales!

Was the Wicked Queen in Snow White just misunderstood? Just how full was the Magic Porridge Pot? Were Hansel and Gretel actually hyperactive kids?

A course designed to examine and consider the fairytales we know – and maybe the ones we don’t. You will be invited to re-look at these stories and ask yourself whether there is another perspective to be explored.

Come along and think about unleashing the un-told tale!

Venue

This course takes place at Exeter Community Centre.
