So come along to Tent 2 on Sunday 25th August and give your legs a rest and let your fingers do the walking.

A one-hour workshop on storytelling that will change your life forever: the never-ending story revealed.

Iain Overton is a writer and investigative journalist. An executive producer on Dispatches and Panorama, he set up The Bureau of Investigative Journalism. The author of two non-fiction books, his reporting has been awarded with a Peabody, a BAFTA and two Amnesty Awards; today he writes for the Byline Times and the Guardian. He has reported from over 25 conflict zones around the world.

This workshop reveals to you the secret structure that lies within every story ever told. It will take you on a mind-blowing journey into the Hero’s Journey, showing how Harry Potter, Star Wars, Cinderella and The Hobbit all share - at their essence - the same twists and turns, the same plot hidden deep within. From Disney to the Brother’s Grimm, Overton will explain the one story that binds them all, to open up your own potential to be the greatest storyteller the world has known.

This workshop would benefit anyone who wants to write. And to read. And to watch films. And to understand how storytelling really, really works. Come on the journey.

There are people in our communities with direct experiences of the big social issues facing us today. They have expertise and ideas for solutions to create change. But are they being listened to? Are their voices being heard?  

A new spokespersons network aims to increase the representation and diversity of voices we hear in the media.   The programme offers practical training, media mentoring and speaking opportunities to a cohort of 20 individuals.  In this workshop let’s explore how we re-balance the voices we hear in the media.

Jude has spent over 20 years working to ensure that the voices of people who might be considered invisible or marginalised are heard and giving them a platform for their ideas. She’s done this by collaborating with people and communities who have direct experience of the issues and supporting them to share their stories and insights to have maximum impact.

Whose story is it anyway?

Good writing is not just about story. It is also about finding the best way to tell the story. Whose voice is heard and who is silenced? In this workshop for writers of fiction, short fiction and memoir we’ll demonstrate how finding the right voice can move your writing from average to exceptional.

Look, look and look again

Have you ever wondered why one writer grips you immediately and another bores you rigid? It’s all in the detail – and the detail and the detail. In this workshop, we’ll try out some practical exercises which will help you choose those few words which will set your writing alight. No experience necessary.

Suitable for writers of fiction, non-fiction and journalism.

Note: These are practical workshops in which we will be doing writing exercises. So people need to come with a pen and paper.
