Sudley House: Wildwrights Wild Writing...

Imagine writing a poem with the trees, the clouds, or the wind…. Step into the enchanting world of WILDWRIGHTS at the beautiful Walled Garden with Theatre in the Rough.

Discover nature’s wonders in these free creative writing workshops for all ages, which aim to spark creative adventures for curious minds by connecting with the wild world. Focusing our senses on the living beauty around us – the flutter of a butterfly, the texture of a leaf – encourages mindfulness, keeping us grounded and present in the moment. So join them to build bonds with nature and each another in their amazing community space.

With fun Expedition Guides and activities for all, you’ll enjoy crafting poetic treasures and tales by exploring the vibrant ecosystem around you.

Young people under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Open to all, but recommended as most suitable for 7+.

The sessions are self-contained and you do not need to attend every session in the series – although you are more than welcome to if you would like! In partnership with Theatre in the Rough.
