Creative Writing – Writing your Life Story Places still available

Creative Writing – Scenes from Tonbridge Life

Writing can come from the imagination, or from life, or both. This course offers an exciting opportunity to use the resources of Tonbridge and its people to stimulate the imagination and produce some writing. Each week we will study some aspect of town life by observing an aspect of it, discussing in a group, and then producing some original writing.

Conveniently timed, you will be able to enjoy a couple of hours of imaginative writing before picking up the children, going shopping, and getting home before it gets dark.

TON/82209/H/LC Wed 11 wks 06/01/20 – 23/03/20 12.30–14.30 £170 TON AEC
