The Mums' Writing Circle is a weekly mother and baby group centred around Mum, using writing practice to support the transition into motherhood and build community.
​
We use writing to process our experiences, and take up space as mothers. Drawing on diverse forms and motherhood narratives, from creative non-fiction, to poetry, to plays, we explore and celebrate our own voices and stories, and find ways in which the rhythms of writing practice and every day lives as mums can be intertwined.
​
For all self-identifying Mum's and their babies (up to 1 years old).
No writing experienced is necessary. Just bring a notebook and pen!
​
The Mums' Writing Circle can be booked as 7 week half terms, that run in parallel with the school terms. Each session is £7 (£49 for the half-term). This pays for one adult and their baby(s).
