Hi! I’m leading an Introduction to Nature Writing Workshop on Saturday 23rd April from 10am – 12pm.

The details are here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/introduction-to-nature-writing-tickets-302558760397

Whatever you write, this is your chance to get inspired by the natural world.

About this event

Join me in the beautiful Rivelin Valley for a treasure hunt with a difference – you’ll be searching for the words to describe the wonder of nature and your relationship with it, using all of your senses and learning how to incorporate the natural world into your writing. We will be taking a walk up the valley, which is a haven for wildlife and industrial archaeology, stopping a few times to write and explore, before heading back to the Rivelin Valley Cafe for a drink, a sit down and a writing exercise to finish off the morning with a flourish! Suitable for adults and older children and teenagers with an interest in writing! The walk will be fairly easy-going but will not be suitable for wheelchair users in some places.

Meet outside the Rivelin Park Cafe for a 10am start!

I’m Anne Grange, a local writer who loves nature. I’m often found walking, taking photos, watching wildlife and even swimming outdoors!

My novels are always inspired by the natural world, and issues such as climate change. I would also describe myself as a nature poet, inspired by post-industrial landscapes and the “unofficial Countryside” as well as the breathtaking vistas of the Peak District. The Rivelin Valley is both of these things!
