Nature Writing Workshop with Charlie Bingham

Writing the Living World

The Reading Room, Grantham

2 hours - All welcome - No writing experience needed

Workshop Overview

Join author Charlie Bingham for a nature writing workshop that invites you to reconnect with the natural world through mindful observation. Whether you’re an experienced writer or just curious to try something new, this session offers a gentle, guided path into the nature that is all around us through sight, sound, and touch.

Together, we’ll explore how to tune into the world just outside our front doors, wherever we are, and how to turn those observations into powerful pieces of writing.
