Mansfield Young Writers' Group

About this event

Why should you sign up to our monthly creative writing group for 14-17s in Mansfield?

Because it’s…

Free to join

Lead by a published author and poet

A space to make lasting frindships

Filled with creative writing activities to boost your confidence and your writing skills

A way to open the door to opportunities in the writing industry!

Did you know that our writing group members have gone on to start their own collectives, win writing competitions and get published?

In each session, your young writer will take part in fun creative writing exercises and have the opportunity to share their writing if they would like to (although there is never any pressure). There will also be the opportunity to perform at events and take part in work experience opportunities.

Our Mansfield Young Writers’ Group takes place at Mansfield Palace Theatre on Thursdays from 6.30 – 8 pm on the following dates in 2026:

22nd January
12th February
26th February
12th March
26th March

Whether your young person loves to write, or they're looking for something new to try, ALL are welcome. And don't worry if you can't make all the workshop dates! Sessions are planned as one-off meetings so you don't have to commit to the whole programme if your young person has a busy schedule.

Our Nottingham Young Writers' Group is currently full, BUT our Mansfield group has SPACES AVAILABLE! Sign up now and snag your young writer's spot before it's too late.
