Come enjoy two hours guided creative writing time in nature.

We'll meet at the Ivy Green car park opposite The Bowling Green pub in Chorlton, and take a mindful walk through the woods and nature reserve, observing what birds and plants we see and stopping at intervals to do some nature inspired writing.

I'll bring some poems and some nature-themed prompts in case you need some extra inspiration, a book on British birds, and some extra pens and paper in case anyone's forgotten any.

Bring your notebook, something to write with, and any nature knowledge you'd like to share.

There'll be a sharing circle at the end where you'll have the option to read anything you've written or share any thoughts you've had throughout the morning.

There are five cheaper ticket options available for those that need them. As a working class human I'm all too familiar with coming up against pay walls - if the cost of this session is presenting a barrier for you please get in touch and we'll work out a cheaper option.

If it's too wet to write outside we'll do a shorter rainy walk (bring a coat & good shoes!) and then head into one of the nearby pubs to write. Details of this will be sent out nearer the time.
