Children Creative Writing Workshop at Arvon Lumb Bank

Bring a group to Arvon – we offer residential weeks for schools, young people and adult groups.

At the heart of Arvon is the aim to encourage anyone, regardless of background, to find their voice through writing; whether you want to bring talented writers, or individuals who need more support, each week is shaped around the participants’ needs and interests. Programmes are led by two highly experienced writers, with tutorials, group workshops, and time and space to write.

Bring a School

At Arvon we believe anyone can be a writer. Each year we organise residential weeks at all three of our beautiful heritage properties in Devon, West Yorkshire and Shropshire for schools and groups. Five days that can ignite a life-long love of creative writing.

“The Arvon experience has completely exceeded all my expectations – the pupils have come back brimming with confidence, talking about writing, enthusiastic about writing… it allowed them to think more freely, become more independent writers. All of these things I’d hoped for but I didn’t think we could achieve.”
