The Art of Playfulness - Writing Workshop with Sade Fadipe

A writing workshop for aspiring children's authors.

A writing workshop for aspiring children's authors inspired by Kes Gray's Oi Chelmsford! exhibition.

Saturday 30 May 2026, 1.30pm - 3.00pm

Museum of Chelmsford, Oaklands Park, Moulsham Street, Chelmsford, CM2 9AQ

Come along to a hands-on workshop that will inspire you to craft your own stories. Delivered by Sade Fadipe (author of prose, poetry and playscripts) who was first inspired by the Quentin Blake's playful style, during an Author visit to a school she taught at many years ago. Sade's narrative and unusual journey into authorship is enough to motivate anyone with dreams of one day becoming published!

This event is part of Oi Chelmsford! - a day of family storytelling, and artist and writing workshops at the Museum of Chelmsford set against the fabulous backdrop of the exhibition Oi Chelmsford! Kes Gray: Chelmsford Born and Read. A celebration of the work and life of Kes Gray.

Tickets: £20 / £15 concessions (students, under 27s and unwaged) includes entry to Museum of Chelmsford.
