Write Space

A new initiative to support creative writers who would like to connect with others and kickstart their writing in 2025. Based in a quiet space at the Oxford Poetry Library at the Community Works (look for Lula's restaurant, the event space is at the back). Come and join us there!

When is it?

1.30-3.30pm every other Friday, January-March 2025 (and hopefully beyond!)

Where is it?

The event space at the Community Works, 21 Park End Street (look for Lula's Restaurant, our event space is at the back). Come and join us there!

Who is it for?

Writing can be a lonely business and sometimes it can be hard to protect time for yourself to write when life weighs in. Write Space is for anyone writing creatively (poetry, fiction, drama, creative non-fiction…) who would value this space.

Write Space is facilitated by OPL volunteers.

How do I take part?

Save your spot by registering for a ticket here in Eventbrite. Donation amount is optional, with all funds going to support the work of the Oxford Poetry Library and its running costs.

We’re asking everyone to pre-book so we can plan well and make sure there’s plenty of space for all.

Do I have to come for the whole time?

We’ll start with a gentle writer’s warm-up then we’ll work in peace on our projects. We’ll take a short break before a second block of writing. If you arrive between those times, you’re welcome to settle in quietly - we’ll look forward to chatting to you in the break!

What should I bring?

Bring what you’re working on and what you like to write on/ with. Bring your own drink or maybe buy one at Lula’s, the restaurant at the front of the event space.
