A Write Raw Midwinter - an outdoor writing workshop on the shortest day of the year in a very atmospheric spot in Shropshire (in conjunction with MythStories).

Folly - on the weekend when the clocks spring forward, an outdoor writing workshop held in a Victorian replica of that largest of timepieces Stonehenge.
