Join a creative writing workshop, suitable for all levels, inspired by the mythical monsters in our collections.About this Event
Join colleagues from our Library and Visitor Experience teams in a unique creative writing workshop inspired by items from our collections. In celebration of Halloween, you'll be looking at mythical monsters from our collections, imagining their monstrous personalities, and exploring how they might be misunderstood after all.
In a session full of twists and lateral thinking, you’ll create your very own horror story full of monsters, suspense, and redemption.
The workshop is open to all levels, from beginners who want a place to start to more experienced writers who may be looking for a spark for their next piece.
