Words in the sand: a creative writing workshop
Seaton Carew Community Hub, Hartlepool, TS25 1BN
Friday 3rd July 2026
Join Hartlepool’s Reader-in-Residence, Theodore Forcer, to explore the stories of our coast through creative writing!
The coast has long been a source of inspiration, and our local beaches are no exception. In this beginner friendly, no-experience-required workshop, we will explore the shoreline through guided writing exercises and discussions. Drawing on local heritage, shipbuilding traditions, and visual art, the session encourages experimentation and discovery, culminating in time to develop ideas and share work in a supportive environment.
