"lovely friendly atmosphere"
Kettle Tales – Writing Group at Cosham Community Kettle for Portsmouth Bookfest
Free: No ticket required, OR pre-book (and donate to Kettle).
Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cuppa, and let the stories flow.
Kettle Tales is a friendly, low-pressure writing group where words bubble up as easily as conversation around the teapot. Whether you’re scribbling your first lines or polishing a novel, you’ll find a welcoming space to share, write, and explore.
Our workshops are inclusive, supportive, and designed to meet people exactly where they are. Just bring yourself (and maybe a favourite pen) – no experience needed. Writer @Lucy Ashton facilitates this session.
"loved it"
"informative and fun -- and we got an orange!"
Upcoming dates:
- Mon 2 March: https://wegottickets.com/event/686205
Hosted at Cosham Community Kettle, where stories and brews are best enjoyed together.
Supported by Portsmouth Creates #InOurWords, Wip2 offers workshops that are welcoming, inclusive, and meet people where they are.
No pressure to share—this is about expression, not perfection.
We’ve found people often surprise themselves with what they write.
