Writing for Wellbeing
Monday 1 June 2026, 1:30pm – 4pm
Hailey Wood Saw Mill, Quaker Row, Coates, Cirencester GL7 6LA
Cost: free or by donation
Join us in the woods to immerse yourself in nature, slow down, learn and share.
Writing for Wellbeing is a gentle and welcoming group using creative writing prompts to share experiences, thoughts and feelings in a beautiful woodland.
We will take inspiration from nature, and spend time writing and sharing together, as much or as little as feels right for you.
No previous skills or experience are needed; there is no pressure to be 'good' at writing.
