Telling Tales: Creative Writing
Exeter Library
A summary
Love making up stories? ?⚓ Join us at Exeter Library for a free, fun-filled workshop packed with silly games, brilliant characters, and plenty of sea-themed inspiration; from salty seagulls to shipwrecked sailors!
We’ll play with words, explore description and metaphor, and create stories and poems together. Perfect for those who love creative writing and for those who aren’t so sure. No pressure, no correct spelling needed, just lots of fun ways to get involved!
When? ? Thursday 21st August, 11am (around 75 mins)

Cancellation policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.
My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
