Chippenham Museum Creative Writing Group – Maud’s Way

Maud’s Way

First Wednesday of the month
3 April to 4 September, 7pm – 9pm
Free, spaces limited

Join Chippenham Museum’s Creative Writing Group and take part in our new series of 6 linked writing workshops led by local writer and facilitator Ruth Hill.

Inspired by the 550th anniversary of Maud Heath’s Causeway and the Museum’s summer exhibition, Re-imagining Maud Heath, discover how Maud and her Causeway has been celebrated by artists, writers, and everyday people across the centuries. Explore the stories surrounding Maud Heath and consider how local myths and legends begin and grow over time.

Over the 6 months, explore, discover, share and create your own local stories and perhaps some of these will develop into longstanding legends which will be told for years to come!

These sessions are suitable for beginners to experienced writers and will culminate with performed readings as part of the Maud’s Way Heritage Open Day’s events in September.

Group meets on the first Wednesday of the month at Chippenham Museum.

Workshops are free but spaces are limited. Email heritage@chippenham.gov.uk to reserve your place.
