What's on in Becontree Heath

Greater London, England

Becontree Heath sits just east of Dagenham and has a quiet rhythm that makes for a perfect weeknight stroll. The library puts on sessions where little ones can rhyme away the afternoon, while other groups find their own corner to play out ideas. It is a place where neighbours know each other's names without needing to shout across the street. Evenings bring quiz nights and open mics that keep the local scene lively without raising a fuss. Near Here gathers all these bits of local life into one spot so you do not have to hunt for dates on a Sunday. You can find your next plan here, no matter how much or little time you have left in the week.

Sunday Creative Writing Course: Five Weeks of Spring

Join writer and teacher, Anna Dempsey, for this five-week course of guided fiction writing, sharing words in a tender, supportive community. This course is perfect for writers of any stage who want to explore their voice, try new ideas, finish a writing project or connect with fellow creatives in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Each week, you will focus on different elements of short story and novel writing including plot, dialogue, character, setting and pacing. You’ll be looking at spring inspired writing and pop culture to do this. Think the ridiculous film Spring Breakers meets Anne of Green Gables meets Mary Oliver in a field of sunflowers. These five weeks are a great time to start a new short story, novel or dive back into some old idea notebooks.
