Creative Writing with Joy Winkler

An inspiring creative writing workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate.

  • Booking essential

"Talk to the trees" Join us for this exciting creative writing workshop with former Cheshire Poet Laureate, published author, playwright and experienced workshop facilitator, Joy Winkler. Of this workshop, Joy says: "Just imagine if the trees could talk back. If we could tap into the things they've seen, the times they've lived through. In imagination and memory, we've sat under them, climbed them, felled them and hugged them. And just like from an acorn a hell of a big oak tree can grow, communing with nature can be the start of a magnificent story." (Includes: Creative Writing Workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, Park Entry and Garden Entry)
