Writers' Workshop
from February 4th
From February 4th, Pam will be leading a Writers' Workshop on the first floor room at Cafe Old Town from 10am to 12:30.
The workshops will be fortnightly from the 4th Feb and broadly speaking will consist of prompts, discussion and time to write.
The space is quite cosy and so places are limited.
Get in touch via the email or DM me through social media and I'll keep a spot for you.
