I’m over the moon to be popping up at Botelet during the school holidays for a series of one-off workshops.
Botelet is a beautiful hidden gem, not far from Fowey, that has been farmed and tended to by the Tamblyn family for 150 years.
With an array of accommodation options and 300 acres of tumbling hills and enchanting woodlands, I am so very excited to run these special workshops in May and August.
Whether you have some experience writing, are interested in stories and storytelling or whether you just want to try something new, each session will be welcoming and encouraging but most of all fun!
Suitable for all ages and open to all, these family-friendly workshops will include exercises for everyone with a craft-based activity for smaller ones as well.
All materials, resources and a drink will be provided.



Thursday 29th May | Pause and Play with Poetry | 9:30 – 11:00
Wednesday 20th August | Open the door | 9:30 – 11:00
Thursday 28th August | Sun Stories | 9:30 – 11:00

“That was so enjoyable, felt like yoga for writers in a way. Strenghtening, stretching, warming up the imagination. ”

“Lucy has a way of structuring her workshops so that a simple creative task can take you deep into the knottiest parts of your own creative process. She manages to facilitate deep work in a way that feels easy and painless. I can’t recommend these workshops highly enough: I always come away with both a set of practical tools and a feeling of wellbeing.”
