Writer in Residence at Belfast Cathedral, Deirdre Cartmill

Everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a new writer or a seasoned professional, this day of inspiration and practical guidance will rekindle your passion, and fire you up to get writing and keep writing.

The theme for the workshop is ‘Forgotten Voices’. We’ll start by uncovering your forgotten voice – the voice of the things you’re crying out to say, the voice of your forgotten hopes and dreams. Then we’ll explore other forgotten voices – voices from your past, the forgotten voices of your loved ones, or voices lost in history.

There will be time set aside within the workshop to explore the Cathedral and be inspired by this beautiful space. Uncover the forgotten voices hidden here, or simply find inspiration in its beauty, bustle, history and its atmosphere of peace and reflection. There is also the potential for some of the work produced to be shared on the Cathedral’s website and across social media.

This workshop will inspire, no matter what form you’re writing in – whether it’s poetry, prose or drama.

The writing workshop will take place in the Cathedral’s Chapel of Unity on Saturday 25th September 2021.

The cost is £15/£12, you decide what you can afford, there will be free car parking at the Cathedral for attendees. Places are limited to 12, so book early to ensure your place!
