Wednesdays, 7pm to 9:30pm Wednesday 24 September to Wednesday 29 October

You’ve carried your story in your heart—now it’s time to put it on the page. Whether you’ve never written a word since school or you’re halfway through a memoir, this supportive course will give you the confidence, structure, and tools to finally begin—or finish—your story. Join this hands-on course designed for adults who want to express themselves through writing, regardless of experience or background.

You might be crafting a letter, a blog, a play, a novel, a poem, or something entirely your own. You’ll learn how to overcome internal obstacles, quiet your inner critic, and discover your own authentic writing voice. This course is less about literary rules and more about creative freedom—it’s about telling your story, your way.

This is not an English class. You won’t be asked to study grammar, syntax, or literary devices. Instead, you’ll explore creative self-expression in a safe, encouraging space with a skilled facilitator who understands that sometimes, the hardest part is just starting.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this storytelling course, you should be able to:

  • Identify and articulate your goals as a writer

  • Recognise and overcome personal blocks to writing

  • Develop greater confidence and self-belief in your creative voice

  • Establish a regular writing habit with supportive techniques

  • Shape and structure your story in a form that suits you

  • Connect with a community of like-minded storytellers

Please note this is a 6–8 week course, not a one-day workshop.
