Memoir is more than a record of events: it’s the art of shaping meaning from memory. Whether you're writing about family, identity, work, love, justice or the natural world, memoir allows you to explore why your story matters and how personal experience can speak to universal themes.

In this immersive one-day workshop, your writing will be at the centre of what we do. Through guided writing, reflective practice, and tutor-led discussion, you’ll generate new material and discover how memory, emotion, and form come together on the page. This is a space to begin turning lived experience into art.
