Come join us for a sensory-oriented, neurodivergent-friendly Creative Writing workshop and Coffee Cupping session to explore creative writing and the senses.

This live, in-person event will take place at SEESAW, an arts venue in the heart of Manchester. The session will include coffee cupping sessions led by Bee Southworth of Red Bank Roastery, and a multi-genre creative writing workshop led by Lania Knight of The Open University. And cake provided by Pomelo Bakes!

Tasting Notes will be an opportunity to explore connections and synergies between creative writing and the sensory experiences of taste, smell, sight and memory. You’ll spend time taking part in coffee cupping sessions and short writing exercises, all designed to allow your senses to inspire your writing! This event is for adults, suitable for beginners and seasoned writers of any genre. Persons who identify as neurodivergent in any way are welcome, as well as allies and those curious about neurodivergence and creativity.

Tickets are £10, which includes coffee and cake. Please bring your own writing supplies. A limited number of concessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
