Children's Writing Competition
Can you tell a story in 200 words? Perhaps a mystery. A crime. Or a story of peace, freedom and cultural diversity. No limits - it's your imagination that counts.
We will be running workshops with local schools to develop the pupils' story telling. Join us at 10.00 on 4th October in The Town Hall to hear the short-listed stories and enjoy the prize presentation. Free entry.
