Community Writing Labs

For 11 — 18 years old

Our older Community Writing Labs are for young writers who want to explore their creativity, meet like-minded young people, and take part in exciting creative projects.

What do we do?

We create a relaxed and safe space for you to spend time writing and exploring your voice and ideas, whilst being supported by our expert mentors.

Each term, there will be the opportunity to take part in a variety of different writing projects, or to create your own, and to have your writing published or performed.

This could include:

  • Publishing your poetry in an anthology
  • Scripting and recording an audio drama
  • Writing comedy sketches which are performed by professional actors
  • Making and distributing your own zine
