Mayflower Young Writers

Do you like writing? Would you like to work with a professional writer and find out more about selected Mayflower Theatre shows? Are you at secondary school or college? Would you like to see your work performed and published online and in print?

As part of the SO:Write literature development initiative, ArtfulScribe and Mayflower Theatre are inviting young people to get involved with a free exciting creative project that will help develop skills, confidence, and experience of a writer’s life.

Participants will explore creative writing through workshops on topics like characterisation, dialogue, setting and plot. Writers will work across genres including non-fiction, fiction, poetry and script-writing.

Sessions will take place on a weekly basis, on Saturday mornings during term-times. These sessions are free but we are looking for commitment. Places are limited, please register your interest by calling Mayflower Box Office. All workshops are suitable for beginners and advanced writers.

Group 2: Ages 15 to 18 Time: 11am - 1pm

Location: Empire Suite, Mayflower Theatre
