come and write in the lamb & flag, Oxford

Lamb & Flag Writers – In the Shadow of the Inklings!

EVERY SUNDAY, 10:30–1PM

(We have a broadcast list on WhatsApp with notifications of future co-writing sessions, Lamb & Flag writer’s meet ups, events & workshops, and early warning of change of timings etc - if you would like to join to hear more please join via this link)

The Writing Well has teamed up with The Lamb and Flag, Oxford, to provide a welcome and cozy writing space in which to come and write in community, in the shadows of many great writers who have sat and had a pint and a chat there through the centuries.

The Lamb and Flag is a pub with a wealth of literary connections, not least the informal group of writers known as the “Inklings” (CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien and their circle), and Thomas Hardy (who wrote Jude the Obscure there), to mention but a few literary greats who have passed through their doors.

The Lamb & Flag is a CIC (community interest company) and therefore their mission is to support the community. Sessions are run on a ‘Pay-what-you-can’ option to Kate to keep the sessions viable but if you can’t afford to pay anything then Welcome! If you can afford to pay something then Thank you! If you are feeling you are doing well and have the means to pay a little more to support those who can’t afford it then we are very grateful!

There is always FREE tea and coffee and cake - order before 11am.

Contact Kate for more info. Or just turn up at 10:30 with a pen, paper/laptop and an open mind.
