January Write Then Socialise
Write Then Socialise
There’s a nationwide initiative to make sure writers write and don’t get lonely while doing it. So, the first Rochester Write Then Socialise event is booked!
Murder Most Medway
A bonus #MurderousMedway event! An evening of performances so good, they’re criminal!
Murderous Medway: Crime Writers’ Day
With five panels of brilliant crime writers, a murder mystery evening and writing workshops over the weekends of 6th and 13th October, this is a must for crime readers and writers alike.
Murderous Medway: The Three ‘C’s Crime Writing Workshops
Saturday 13 October 10am-4pm.
We wanted to have a day of workshops from which you could leave with a blueprint for your own story. This could be one you’ve been working on for some time and need to kick start, or one where you have just the seed of an idea and need to nurture it. Either way, these workshops covering Concept, Character and Conflict will help you thrash out the story you need to tell.
Crime Writers’ Day: The Real Killers with Paul Harrison
Truth is stranger than fiction – it has to be, since in fiction, everything has to make sense. Loose ends need to be tied up and usually, for a really satisfying read, the perpetrator of the crime is caught by the cleverness of our detective.
Crime Writers’ Day – Real Jobs, Fictional Worlds Panel: Lisa Cutts, Simon Michael and Anna Mazzola
How do authors get to the nitty gritty of criminal law procedure? Most will speak to the experts – those dealing with real crime day in, day out.
For this panel though, we bring together the experts themselves, whose non writing profession informs their fictional crime writing through first hand experience.
Mark Billingham to headline our Crime Writers’ Day
Our first dedicated crime writing festival is shaping up to be a belter!
Top crime writer Mark Billingham will be headlining, topping off an exciting day of panels around all aspects of crime writing.
Mark will be in conversation with our Patron, author and serving detective, Lisa Cutts, whose latest book, Lost Lives, is being released later this year by Simon and Schuster.
The Turtle Moves Returns!
Crafty fun for all the family with a selection of activities inspired by Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.
Make your own witches or wizard’s hat, decorate a Quantum Weather Butterfly or Maskerade Mask, mind your nose with the springy eggs, or get your hands clay-mucky with golems and trolls!
No need to book but we do ask a £1 donation per child in order to re-stock our craft store.
We look forward to seeing you 🙂
Sharing memories at Maidstone Museum
We’re very much looking forward to working with Maidstone Museum to capture more local stories and memories, as they open their doors for a morning of reminiscence.
