Summer Holidays Fun! Creative Writing for 5-12 year olds
Sunday 16 August, 2pm - 3pm
Free with Admission
Come join us for a fun and educational afternoon at Dr Johnson's House this summer holiday!
Suitable for children aged 5-12, this creative writing workshop led by Pauline Chakmakjian will encourage budding authors and free-thinkers to get inside the mind of Dr Johnson, while hearing more about his famous dictionary, weird and wonderful words, and even his pet cat Hodge! We will spend an hour on a Sunday afternoon with some short writing exercises to help create stories using characters, setting and structure.
There will be a few writing prompts provided to assist with this, and maybe we'll even see the invention of some new words to add to the dictionary!
Writing materials and pencils will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own special notebook or journal and pencils!
Book online, or just come along.

Accessibility
There is regrettably no step-free access to Dr Johnson's House.
There are seven steps to access the entrance (with a handrail).
The building is a four-storey townhouse with a staircase between each floor.
There are handrails on each side of the staircase and visitor seating in every room.
Toilets are located down a steep set of stairs.
