Story-Making (residential)
with Lucy Wadham, Sat 9 - Sat 16 August 2025

Our lives are filled with stories – our own, those of people close to us, and those we hear from strangers. Faber novelist, Lucy Wadham, author of the memoirs, The Secret Life of France and Heads and Straights (Penguin) will help you coax these stories onto the page. Whether you’re interested in writing fiction or memoir, Lucy will help you hone your skills in order to build conflict and tension into your narrative and uncover its universal appeal.

The retreat will consist of daily 3-hour workshops with prompts each morning and a 1-hour group feedback session every evening.
