The Storycoaster: Children's Creative Writing Workshop
Saturday 14 November 2026 at 10:30 AM
Colchester Library
Event Description
Have you ever started writing a brilliant story – but then got stuck on what happens next? This hour-long workshop for writers aged 7 to 11 will teach you how to structure stories from beginning to end. We’ll explore how the storycoaster takes your characters on a wild ride, giving you everything you need to write your own complete stories.
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.
