Creative Writing Club

Fortnightly on 2nd and 4th Wednesdays, 6:30pm to 8:00pm
The Bridge At Waterloo Room, St John’s Waterloo

Led by local author, poet and tutor Anna Robinson, you’ll explore different techniques to spark your ideas and craft poems, flash fiction, haikus, and more. We’ll take a few inspiring site visits along the way. No experience needed – just grab a pen, some paper, and let your imagination run wild! This club is part of Room for You, our flagship community and creative programme at St John’s Waterloo.

We’ve got 12 spaces available! Get in touch with Abigail Tripp, our Outreach and Engagement Officer, at outreach@stjohnswaterloo.org or 07741 736 481, to register your interest. She’ll also be happy to tell you more about this Club and other creative and community activities at St John’s Waterloo.
