Easter Holiday: Creative Writing Workshop with Mariah Mannae

We are very excited to announce a new holiday workshop with Mariah Mannae here at The Alligator's Mouth! Mariah runs weekly creative writing sessions for young writers with us, and we are delighted to be running a standalone session for anyone who would like to join us this Easter. This workshop will be inspired by myths and legends and you'll be writing your very own short story.

Step into a world of mythology, legends and magical powers in this Easter half-term creative writing workshop! We’ll explore some famous myths and legends throughout literary history. Each young writer will invent their own new god, hero, monster or legend and write their very own myth to take home. Perfect for imaginative children who love stories, adventure and creating their own worlds.

This workshop is designed for ages 7-12.

This workshop will offer a great opportunity for young writers to develop creativity, writing skills, and make friends with fellow writers in the group.
