Explore Devon Landscapes Through Writing

This 5-week creative writing course is for anyone who loves words and wants to connect with the beauty and character of Devon. Together, we’ll explore a range of places, both familiar and mysterious, through images, texts and memory. Using these landscapes and prompts as inspiration, you’ll create stories, capture memories, and share reflections in a supportive group setting.

It’s a relaxed and welcoming space for all levels of writers. You’ll be invited to share your work with the group, but there’s no pressure.

Please note: we won’t be travelling to locations; all activities will be based on visual prompts, written sources, and your own imagination.

What to bring

Please bring a pen and paper.

What will I learn?

  • Explore activities to begin writing about the local area
  • Build confidence and explore prompts and guides to produce your own creative writing

Venue

This course takes place at St David's Parish Room

There will be a short break with tea and coffee provided.

You will be required to complete an Exeter College Registration Form at the first session.

Commitment: we ask that learners try to commit to the full 5-week course to enable everyone to get the most from the sessions.

Courses are popular and we run a waiting list on our Eventbrite courses, please cancel your place on Eventbrite or advise us if you are no longer able to attend the course so we can offer your place to somebody else.
