come and write in the lamb & flag, Oxford
In the Shadow of the Inklings!
EVERY SUNDAY, 10:30–1PM
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.
Every Sunday, writers (of any genre - not just novel writers) are invited to come at 10:30am for a warm welcome a coffee, a check in and a chat, before we respond to a brief (optional) prompt at 10:45 to get us in flow, then we start writing together for two hours at 11am. Sharing is totally optional!
Sessions are run on a ‘Pay-what-you-can’ option to Kate to keep the sessions viable.
There will be 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.
