THE final in a series of workshops at All Saints Church will be a creative writing session, on Tuesday 24th August, from 1pm to 4pm.
Ever fancied writing poetry or a novel but didn’t know where to start? Join Matthew Tett at All Saints’ Church for the final session of their Saints Alive! Creative workshops programme.
All that’s required is a desire to write – it doesn’t matter how experienced you are, or if you’ve never written – this session is for all and all materials will be supplied. Spaces are limited and booking is essential on Eventbrite or www.whtministry.org.
The first two half-day ceramic and art workshops have been a great success – here’s what people said,
“It was a really lovely day, everyone was really friendly”.
“Great experience, including coffee break with cake! Met new people. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Noticed things in church I had not seen before.”
“It was brilliant but would like to have stayed longer! This is a great use of our church”
The Saints’ Alive! workshops aim to share the beautiful church building with the community of Westbury and beyond and are generously supported by a Community Area Grant from Wiltshire Council.
Beth Thomas, churchwarden, said, “We have been really pleased to welcome over 30 people this summer who have been inspired by the beautiful building, met new people and found a warm welcome. We are pleased at the response and looking at how we might continue the workshops in the future.”
All Saints’ Church is now open every day for visitors. If you haven’t been in for a long time why not pop in and rediscover it? Recently installed information banners were funded by a Cultural Recovery Fund Grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and DCMS (Department of Digital, Culture, Music and Sport) to help support the visitor economy of Westbury. These explain significant parts of the church building, helping visitors to find out more. More information can be found on the website www.whtministry.org.uk.
