Event Details:

• Starts: Tue 4 Nov 2025
• Time: 10am-12noon
• Location: Rougemont Room, Exeter Community Centre

Explore Exeter Through Writing
This 5-week course is for anyone who enjoys writing and wants to explore their local area. We'll use photos and references from places around Exeter, like the cathedral, the quay, and Roman Exeter, as inspiration for stories and reflections.

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.

We'll be based indoors at the Community Centre, rather than being out and about.

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
