Join us in Gouzon for a friendly, relaxed afternoon of writing, creativity, and good company.

Our Gouzon creative writing workshops take place on the first Thursday of each month (unless otherwise stated) from 2.30pm–4.30pm at Costin & Castille, ZI Bellevue, Gouzon, 23230.

Each month we explore a different aspect of creative writing, combining practical guidance, discussion and writing exercises in a supportive and informal environment. The workshops are suitable for writers at all stages, whether you’re working on a novel, experimenting with short stories or poetry, returning to writing after a break, or simply looking for a little inspiration.

The Gouzon group is warm, upbeat and welcoming, with plenty of laughter alongside the writing. You don’t need to have attended previous workshops, and there’s no ongoing commitment — every session stands alone, so simply choose the workshop that interests you.
