Just one place is left for this three-day workshop with Enda Wyley, a space set aside for careful attention to writing, where ideas are tested, sentences shaped, and the work given its due time.

A workshop fills quietly, almost without fuss, until one morning there are no places left to offer. The workshop with Catherine Dunne has now reached that point and is sold out.👇

There is, however, no shortage of other rooms where the work continues. Across the week, writers will gather in small groups under the guidance of Enda Wyley, John Connell, Victoria Kennefick each bringing their own particular attention to the craft. 👇

What if this Valentine's Day wasn't about buying something, but about feeling something.
About slowing down.
About creating.
About giving time, attention and inspiration to someone you care about.

This year instead of another object, consider gifting an experience - one that invites curiosity, creativity, and connection.
Our creative writing workshops are designed for people who want to slow down, explore ideas, and spend time with words that matter.
