New Leaves | Community Writing Retreat

This is a community produced writing retreat in the heart of Folkestone. It will be a great opportunity to spend time writing with like-minded people, whilst doing good for a Folkestone Charity. All funds from ticket-sales will be going to Touchbase Care, the disability support charity.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit their writing for inclusion in a zine which will go on sale at Folkestone Bookshop (with proceeds from sales further benefitting Touchbase Care).
