In this creative writing workshop, you'll learn techniques that will help you find ideas and inspiration everywhere you look, and how to develop those ideas into short stories and longer fiction. You will learn how to use visual prompts, stories from the news, and snippets from your own life, and learn how to strengthen your own writing and imaginative processes. Taught by award-winning writer SJ Bradley, who lives in Leeds, this workshop is open to writers of all level, including beginners. To tie in with the 'Literature in Leeds' exhibition. Ages 16+.

Humphry Repton was the successor to ‘Capability’ Brown as Britain’s pre-eminent landscape gardener. He was renowned for inventing the Red Book.

The talk will include Repton’s commission from Earl Fitzwilliam at Wentworth Woodhouse (1791-1794), which introduced him to patronage in Yorkshire.
