Hidden Histories — Writing in the Museum

Wednesday 5 to Wednesday 26 August | FREE

Join our poet and artist in residence Leanne Moden for a series of friendly creative writing workshops this August.

Exploring the hidden histories of the National Civil War Centre, this is a rare opportunity to get up close with the museum's collections and reflect on both personal and national histories through creative writing. Take a trip through history, write poems and stories, and have a grand old time! 

These workshops are suitable for adults (18+) of all abilities. No previous experience necessary—if you’re interested in writing stories and poems, we’d love to see you there!

You do not need to attend every session. Join as many or as few as you like, as each workshop will be on a different topic and include brief tours of selected museum galleries. Although all sessions are free, booking is required.
