Writing Zoom with a Brew

Writing Zoom with a Brew is back!

Please note that this course is NOW FULLY BOOKED

An online writing project for North Nottinghamshire and North Derbyshire hosted by Writing East Midlands in partnership with First Art.

A cosy, online writing room

These FREE workshops are for anyone aged 55+ who would like to explore ideas, write them down and share these with others in a friendly group. Whether you have writing experience or not, it doesn’t matter – we’re open to all. 

You provide the brew and we’ll provide everything else by creating an inspiring, fun and caring environment to bounce stories and ideas off each other.

Led by local writers

About the project

Writing Zoom with a Bew is part of the Elder Tree project, a three-year, region-wide residency programme, which is empowering groups of people aged 55 and over to create new work stimulated by museums, archives, heritage spaces, and professional writers.

Led by Writing East Midlands, the Elder Tree project is being delivered by a consortium which includes Creative People and Places, First Art and Made in Corby, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, and Museum Development East Midlands, working with non-arts focussed organisations Age UK, Orders of St John Care Trust and University of the Third Age.
