Creative Writing Workshop: Writing to Restore Nature
Join the National Trust and the Cambridge Creative Writing Company for an inspiring day of writing at the historic Houghton Mill.
Whether you’re looking to preserve your heritage or find your voice in the natural world, these intimate, expert-led workshops offer the perfect sanctuary for your writing to flourish.
Class 2: Writing to Restore Nature: with novelist Menna van Praag
Time: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
During this workshop you'll spend the afternoon immersed in the senses - perhaps literally, if we're lucky with the weather! - to enhance your descriptive prose, tying in with the National Trust's ‘Restore Nature’ programme. Using touch, scent, sound and sight you'll learn how to create a world on the page that will make the reader feel as if they've opened the door and stepped outside.
Tickets: £75 per person, per class
Capacity: Limited to 10 spaces per session

A Little Something Extra: Every ticket includes a voucher for a free hot drink to enjoy at our riverside tearoom - perfect for fuelling your creative flow.
