Sarah Smith Workshop (14:30 BST)

Workshop: Creative Writing and Family History

Discover how to bring your family history to life and write about it.

Join writer Sarah Smith for a relaxed and practical workshop. As a family history researcher, Sarah has used family histories both to create fiction and to write and enhance non-fiction. In both she shines a light on our connections with the past.

Whether you’ve built an entire family tree, or are just getting started on genealogical research, you’ll know how intriguing - and elusive - our forebears can be. But when it comes to telling stories, the gaps in our knowledge can be just as important as what we manage to pin down.

Acclaimed for her page-turner Hear No Evil, Sarah will share tips and prompts to help with your own writing, whatever stage you’re at.
