Sip & Scrawl - A Creative Writing Experience

Want to detox from reality for an evening?

Join comedian Mike Sheer in this playful two-hour writing experience (with drinks) in East London's People's Park Tavern, just off Victioria Park.

This activity is the perfect opportunity to kick back with your tipple of choice and have belly laughs with friends old and new, over a delightful mix of innovative and juicy writing prompts.

This is NOT a formal class on how to write the next bestseller; it's a fun exploration of sideways thinking, celebration of imperfection, and chance to let loose on the page.

Come along to make writing fun again. You'll leave this session feeling refreshed, with a reawakened imagination.

Ideal for couples, groups of friends, or solo travellers looking for an easy escape from normal.

Your imagination is waiting to party!

What You'll Need

Reviews:

Mike was a fantastic host! Gave us a rare chance to relive our childhood creativity with imaginative prompts and different writing styles. Definitely recommend and would do again! ***** - Nafeesa

It was a great experience! We gave this to a friend to celebrate her birthday and we all went! I don’t think we were sure what to expect, but it was such a fun night, creativity definitely kicked in and we learned loads about ourselves and each other by having fun and tapping a new side of our creativity while not taking it too seriously and just enjoy new activities! Mike was lovely and really helped steer the night and make it successfull, light hearted and fun! ***** - Irene

Would highly recommend! Such a fun night and Mike was a great host :) ***** - Bethan
