Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11–12 July Near Easthope
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.
Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Easthope, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

3Residential Writing Course: Writing with Coaching
at The Hurst Writing House - Arvon Foundation
Sometimes ‘real life’ gets in the way of your creative practice. Sometimes your writing feels stuck, and you don’t know how to move it on. Sometimes you know you want to write, but don’t know what to write… Join award-winning author Elise Valmorbida with experienced coach and facilitator Richard Beecham for a week of support and inspiration. You’ll take your writing into new territory with exercises that will get you thinking in different ways. Your tutors will help you to explore your material, create compelling stories and develop your writing voice. You’ll learn coaching techniques too. They’ll help you make time for your writing, get you through the sticky bits, and leave you feeling confident about your project and your ability to see it through. Suitable for writers at all stages of their journey, writing in any genre, this course offers one-to-one sessions, group workshops and plenty of informal wisdom in between. You’ll leave with fresh insights and new tools to fuel your writing—even when you get back to ‘real life’! What to Expect: • Supportive workshops to deepen your craft: We’ll share writing, and we’ll share feedback. There’ll be prompts and discussions to help you hone in on what you really want to write, and how. • Professional guidance from your tutors: Two experts offer critical support and insight to help you build your creative practice and energise your writing.
