'Dark Days and Redemption' Of this workshop, Joy says…. “As we move towards dark nights, we will look at the celebration of Halloween and other related myths and stories. It will be fun to look at themed costume parties, garish pumpkins, bonfires, apple bobbing and stories of hauntings. But as well as being inspired by horror and dark deeds, we will look at how a story or poem can also address redemption. As this will be the final workshop of the year we will want to go home with warm thoughts and peace in our hearts.” (Includes: Creative Writing Workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, Park Entry and Garden Entry)
