Calderdale Literary Walk and Creative Writing workshop,

Octagonal Church, Heptonstall 9.30am-4.30pm

With miles of fabulous and dramatic landscapes to explore, the Calder Valley is a wonderful setting to inspire your writing with the area boasting a deep literary heritage. Join Sib as she leads you on a walk around the stunningly beautiful Heptonstall, high on the hillside above Hebden Bridge.  The walk will have a literary lean towards Anne Lister (of course!), Sylvia Plath, and the Brontës, to inspire you ahead of your afternoon’s writing. Having been inspired on your morning walk with Sib, jo
in BAFTA and NTA-award-winning screenwriter Caroline Mitchell for an afternoon of creative writing in the inspirational setting of Heptonstall’s iconic ‘Octagonal Church’. Let your creative juices run as Caroline leads you to write, inspired by the women whose footsteps we walk in whether you are a complete beginner to creative writing or a little more experienced.
