About this Event

Writing Coffee and Conversation—a welcoming event for anyone interested in self-reflective writing, journaling, and poetry.

Join us as we celebrate International Women's Day and work with it's theme for 2026: 'Give To Gain'
International Women’s Day, is celebrated on 8th March each year. It is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.
In celebration of International Women's Day (IWD) 2026, Writing Coffee and Conversation group will use poems written by women and we will explore 'Give To Gain' through our writing.

Our focus is on self-discovery and self-improvement.

We meet at selected bespoke cafés and places of interest across London, using these inspiring venues as a jumping-off point for our writing.

You don't need to worry about spelling, grammar, style, or having any background in poetry or expressive writing. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to connect, reflect and experiment with words in a friendly and supportive environment.

N.B.
