Branching Out: Discover Your Inner Nature Writer with Cara Thompson

Event details

Are you a 13-17 year old with a story to tell? Whether you’re a budding blogger, or a secret Notes App poet, join Nottingham’s first Nature Poet Laureate, Cara Thompson, for a creative writing workshop in the heart of the stunning Attenborough Nature Reserve. This free workshop is an invitation to slow down, get inspired by the world around you, and discover your inner nature writer.

Together, we’ll explore and gather inspiration from the Attenborough Nature Reserve grounds, and respond to creative writing prompts to get your minds ticking. You’ll also have the opportunity to submit any writing that you create to Writing East Midland’s Solstice Prize competition, where you could win a cash prize of £100!

Come prepared to write, wander, and learn how we can all get inspired by nature. No prior writing experience necessary. Just bring a notebook, a pen, and a curiosity for the world around you. See you there!
