Residential Writing Course: Advanced Poetry

Around £995

Residential Writing Course: Advanced Poetry

It is easy to fall into habits as a poet, whether that is relying on the same formal tricks and voicings, or writing the poems we feel others will like at the expense of our own imaginations and interests. It might be that we return to the same themes, or cling to a notion of accessibility that neglects the stranger, murkier kinds of knowledge that poems can reach and hold. Getting beyond these perceived limits can feel risky, discomforting, but it is often on the margins of thought and feeling and language that poetry makes its most novel and profound connections and revelations. Join experienced poets and teachers Jack Underwood and Greta Stoddart on this course which will both challenge and support you to identify your areas of risk, and provide you with the tools to take greater, more illuminating leaps. This course will be most suited to people who have been writing for a while, and who want to bring along their drafts for some fresh impetus and a direction forward, whether that be towards hopes of publication, to share a finished collection with loved ones, or just to reinvigorate your poetic practice.

Cycle from the top of Wales to the bottom 6th

Highway Adventures presents the Welsh Cycling Challenge in 2026, where you'll cycle the length of Wales over 3 days. Cycling the length of Wales is approximately 210 miles and is not something to take lightly. However, as tough as it may be, the sense of achievement you'll feel when you reach Cardiff Bay is incomparable. It’s a fantastic way to see Wales, with breathtaking views of Welsh scenery along the way. This trip is fully supported. You will be joined by John, who will cycle alongside you and handle navigation. John is an experienced cyclist who has completed this challenge multiple times. He is also a skilled bike mechanic in case repairs are needed. We will also meet you at checkpoints with our minibus and trailer, carrying food, water, parts, and more so you can cycle light. This challenge is perfect for fundraising for your chosen charity. We can help promote your fundraiser across our social media channels, and we have plenty of tips to assist with raising money. Pickup Information We will be departing from Builth Wells at 6 am latest on day 1. If you'd prefer to arrive the day before, we can assist with transportation from train stations like Hereford or Merthyr Tydfil to Mid Wales. Secure parking is also available if traveling by car.

Residential Writing Course: Narrative Non-Fiction

Writers of narrative non-fiction often tread a delicate line: what might their personal experiences mean in the light of bigger, more global reckonings? And how might these broader themes be made more arresting, more graspable, by threading in a smaller and more personal focus? Whether you’re a non-fiction writer looking for ‘narrative’, or a ‘narrative’ writer wondering if your work speaks to anything beyond your personal experience, whether you’re stuck halfway through a manuscript or just flirting with a couple of initial ideas, this five-day course with acclaimed authors Helen Jukes and Noreen Masud focuses on drawing connections between the big and the small, the personal and the political, in narrative non-fiction. Writing exercises will encourage you to zoom in and out: to write both small and personal, and big and expansive. By the end of the week, you'll have experimented with drilling down to the emotional heart of your narrative non-fiction project, and feeling beyond your own story to explore its wider contexts. What to Expect: • Supportive workshops to deepen your craft: All the essential elements of non-fiction writing, from research and structure to voice and style • Expert guidance from your tutors: Acclaimed and prizewinning writers share their insights into building a writing practice • Personal Feedback: Focused 1:1 sessions with your tutors for constructive feedback on your work • Inspiration from a range of texts: Learn more about technique from the very...
