Featured Events in Burton in July, 2025 (August Updated)

🍷Summer is the perfect time to explore new places and stories... so why not take it one step further and write one of your own? 🏰 This class will focus on developing drama and creating conflict within your narrative to make it as compelling as possible to read. ✍️ This is for anyone who loves creativity, a good story and is looking to create something of their own. Absolutely no prior experience is needed! 📚 The class is run by an experienced Literacy Specialist who will guide you through with lots of creative activities to get you warmed up. 📕 A notebook for you to keep is provided, along with stationery - but if you want to use anything of your own, you're more than welcome. 🎲 We'll start with a few games (silliness and creativity very much encouraged!) before putting pen to paper. 📓 By the end of the class, you'll have your own creative writing piece on paper to take home and be proud of. ✉️ We'll send out some writing prompts after the class too, to encourage you to keep up the creative work! 📝 This event also gives you exclusive access to our writing group, where we post weekly writing prompts and you can find a community of support.
