CREATIVE writing workshops will be staged at the Lamplight Arts Centre, in Stanley, on Saturday.

The morning workshop will reveal more about local writers' groups. It will be led by Jeremy Warr and will focus on how groups work on writing. Those attending should bring along an example of writing.

During lunchtime, individuals are asked to bring along any of their published work, be it commercially published or even on the Internet.

The afternoon session will provide an opportunity to try some new writing or enhance something already started. The cost is £5 for the full day or £3 a session. To book, call (01207) 218899.
