Creating Characters: Kids Creative Writing Workshop
Saturday 17 October 2026 at 10:30AM
Colchester Library
Event Description
Who’s your favourite character? Maybe a hero like Bilbo Baggins, or a villain like Count Olaf? Create your own character in this hour-long workshop for writers aged 7 to 11. You’ll leave with your own unique protagonist ready for a story of their own!
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.
