After School Clubs

We run free creative writing After School Clubs for children from Year 3 to Year 6 across Brighton and Hove, Worthing and Eastbourne.

Our After School Clubs are free so everyone can take part, although we prioritise places for children who may not be able to access these opportunities elsewhere. We meet every week during term time offering free, captivating, creative writing workshops for children from years 3 - 6, experimenting with all kinds of writing, from poems and stories to journalism, script-writing and comic books.

Our projects have included Brighton & Hove’s first travel guide written for children by children, an audio tour exploring homelessness in our city, and a poetry anthology exhibited on Brighton & Hove Buses electric fleet.
