Come and immerse yourself in writing for a few days. Tutor led exercises, feedback on your work, time to write alone, and time to workshop with fellow writers. It’s ideal if you’re part way through a novel or memoir and feel a little stuck, or if you’re a beginner and would like inspiration and guidance
