This one-off, leisurely creative writing workshop is aimed at both diagnosed, or self-diagnosed, neurodivergent people (such as autistic, ADHD, dyslexics) aged 18+. Led by neurodivergent writer, and creative whizz, Vicky Morris. In this workshop, we’ll explore the world of special interests, hyperfocus & , discarded hobbies through creative writing exercises and inspiration. Expect a warm and supportive session with comfort breaks, list writing and more, as we prepare new writing which a selection of writing from this project will feature in our forthcoming summer exhibition, The Hobby Cave. This workshop is led by Vicky Morris, an award-winning poet, editor and the founder of Hive Young Writers.

The workshop is free to attend. There will be space for just 16 people. We’re interested to hear from diagnosed or self-diagnosed autistic and ADHD people aged 18+, as well as parent and young person couplings, where both are neurodivergent. Find out more on our website. Booking in essential. Part of our Hobby Cave programme of events.
