Come to the Rivelin Story Walk and explore a magical valley!

Come to the Rivelin Story Walk and explore a magical valley!

As part of Sheffield’s Off the Shelf festival of words, I’m excited to be leading an event – a story walk through the magical Rivelin Valley for children and adults.

Explore the Rivelin Valley and follow a trail of fairy hide-outs, goblin thrones, troll bridges and fast-flowing water.

Use your imagination and write amazing stories about your adventures afterwards in the cafe. 

Meet at 11am at the Rivelin Park cafe in the Rivelin Park, S6 5GE. Free parking is available nearby. We will return to the cafe after the walk for a drink and a snack.

To book a place, call me on 07815966784.

The walk is suitable for children aged 6-12. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Cost: £3 adults / £2 children, including a drink and a cake. Hot and cold food is available at the cafe.

Please come dressed for the great outdoors and bring notebooks, cameras, and bags for collecting treasure on the way.

Open Your Memory Box – thanks to everyone who took part!

On a grey, rainy day, ten people (including me), had a fantastic time at Bank Street arts, writing and exploring on my Open Your Memory Box course. I wrote about it in a guest post for Writing Yorkshire – one of the first posts on their blog on their brand-new website! It’s very exciting. Over the next few weeks, I’ll upload some of the brilliant writing that was created in my workshop.

I was very proud to be contributing towards Sheffield’s Off the Shelf Festival of Words with my own course…for the very first time!

Open Your Memory Box Participants, hard at work!

It was an action-packed day. We also watched a miniature theatre performance, the Ice Book, and attended the launch of Writing Yorkshire.

Writing Yorkshire, previously known as Signposts, helped me to launch my writing business, and they continue to support me as my experience and expertise grows.
