Adventures in Creative Writing with Cathi Rae – Part One | A (+this) Event

17 April 2026

Have you ever wanted to write a poem – but don’t know where to start?

Have you ever felt you might have a short story you want to tell – but can’t find the time?

Are you curious about creative writing – but worry you don’t know enough?

Come and join Dr Cathi Rae for a relaxed but structured half day workshop, with lots of inclusive and accessible writing prompts – try your hand at creating your own poetry, short story or any form of creative writing. The morning will focus on fun and practical activities aimed at anyone who is creative writing curious ( absolutely NO previous experience required) and there will be time to share work and to celebrate our first steps in growing our creative voices.
