Description

Are you keen to try creative writing? Would you like to explore the wonderful world of chalk streams? Join us for this story walk and nature writing workshop! We'll start by taking a walk along the River Arle, hearing stories about this special habitat. Then, we'll head indoors to turn our inspiration into creative writing. The walk and workshop will be led by Dawn Nelson - a performance storyteller and author based within the beautiful South Downs. Her passion is landscape, heritage and nature connection through the wonder of story, in all its forms.
