Welcome to Exeter’s Bright Write, helping children aged 8–11 become confident, creative writers.
About this Event

4 out of 8 places have been booked.


Ready to turn big ideas into a finished story?

Join Clare for a structured three-session, story writing series where children will plan, write, and complete their very own original story — building sentence-level skills and confidence every step of the way.

Each session builds on the last, guiding young writers through the full storytelling journey in a fun, supportive environment.

Small Group Size: Maximum of 8



At the end of the 3- session programme, your child will gain:
  • A clear understanding of story structure
  • Stronger sentence construction
  • Richer vocabulary
  • More writing confidence
  • A finished story to take home and celebrate!


Each 2-hour session costs £20 per child. The total cost to join the 3-session programme series is £60 for 6 hours of storywriting — a special introductory rate while Bright Write is growing.
