Creative Writing Workshops: All of Us Witches

Established poet, writer, and tutor Sue Burge leads two workshops inspired by King's Lynn's role in the witch trials.
Take part in either workshop for £25 or book both for just £40.
The cost includes email feedback to help you polish one piece for inclusion in the All of Us Witches exhibition.
The workshops will take place at the Education Room at Stories of Lynn on Wednesday 14th October 2026.

Workshop 1 10.30-13.00
Voices in the burning air
In this workshop we will explore the atmosphere of fear and suspicion which prevailed during Matthew Hopkins’ reign of terror. We will discuss poetry and prose which gives voice to those accused of witchcraft in order to inspire your own new writing via a series of innovative prompts.

Workshop 2: 14.00-16.30
Practical Magic
Love potions and hexes, curses and blessings: in this workshop we will look at the power of poetic spells to enable you to conjure your own practical magic in response!

Part of West Norfolk Wyrdfest - a month-long series of events for October celebrating the weird, the wonderful and the deliciously dark.
