Frocktober Flash Writing Workshop

This workshop will suit:

• Writers of all stages and abilities
• Teachers looking for creative writing lesson ideas
• Anyone looking to unleash their creativity

Bring your preferred writing materials (notebook and pen or laptop)

Please note the venue is only accessible via stairs.

Tea and coffee will be available. Some light refreshments will be provided. Fridge and microwave are available if you would like to bring lunch.

Proceeds from this event will go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) as part of their annual fundraiser known as 'Frocktober.' Facilitator Melanie Hobbs is participating in Frocktober by wearing a dress every day for the month of October. You are encouraged to 'frock up' too though this certainly isn't compulsory.
