Getting Started with Writing: Kids Creative Writing Workshop
Saturday 5 September 2026 at 10:30AM
Colchester Library
Event Description
Never written a story before, or not sure how to start? Join this relaxed hour-long workshop for writers aged 7 to 11 that’s all about kick-starting ideas and growing your confidence. Whether you love writing or you’re new to it, you’ll have fun with creative writing games and hands-on activities.
This workshop is part of Colchester Library’s autumn creative writing programme for young writers. This series of workshops for writers aged 7 to 11 and 12 to 17 takes a fun, hands-on approach, led by creative writing tutor Daisy Jones.
Each session stands alone, so you can come to just one, or as many as you like. All materials are provided and no previous writing experience is required – just bring your imagination! All workshops are free, but places are limited and booking is essential.
