Creative writing day will celebrate beauty of Sunderland Point

A day of creative writing will be inspired by one of North Lancashire and Morecambe Bay's most beautiful areas.

Layers of Place: A Creative Writing Day at Sunderland Point takes place on Sunday, February 23 from 10am to 4pm.

Accessed by a tidal causeway, Sunderland Point, at the tip of the Lune Estuary, is a truly special place with a rich history and extraordinary nature.

Join writer Sarah Hymas to celebrate the Point’s complex beauty and our relationships with it.

Writers will explore the land and sea edge of the Point, consider ourselves as recent incomers and our impact upon it, as well encountering those who live there – in the air, mud, water and past of the place.

There will be guided writing, outdoor exploring, pairwork and sharing, all supported by specially created gentle and inspiring activities. 

Participants will have the use of the Reading Room to create a warm space, with a delicious soup lunch.

Sarah has lived on the Bay for over 14 years, writing, performing and making work about the sea, its inhabitants and coastal edges. She is inspired by sharing her sense of wonder of the vulnerabilities in our world and creates safe spaces for inclusive, creative thinking. 

 This is a Love Morecambe Bay fundraising event for the Morecambe Bay Partnership charity. Any proceeds after costs will go directly towards the charity’s work to support nature, heritage and communities and to keep Morecambe Bay special. 

The price is £65 inc. lunch. You can book HERE.
