INK & BREW
WRITERS CLUB

A Monthly MEETUP For Writers

EVERY SECOND FRIDAY OF THE MONTH

ABOUT THE EVENT

Ink and Brew Writer's Club (formerly Prose & Pastries) is held every second Friday of the month at the beautiful and inspiring building 'The Fold' in Leamington Spa, a refurbished 19th century church building.

 

The event offers time and space to write, connect with other writers and enjoy a tea or coffee to start your weekend off with a bit of creativity. Think of it as a 'bitesized' version of our day retreats.

 

Whether you're writing your first novel, short stories and poems or working on travel writing or non-fiction, this is your space to connect and write over unlimited tea, coffee and soft drinks in an exclusive, inspiring room just for us.

 

You'll begin with a drink and 30 minutes relaxing in the communal area of The Fold to talk with the rest of our writing community about your writing and discuss any challenges or achievements you've had. You'll then have 1.5 hours to take time for yourself and focus on getting some writing done in the board room with relaxing music in the background.

ABOUT THE LOCATION

The Fold is a beautiful refurbished church in the regency town of Leamington Spa. With its soaring ceilings and a tranquil atmosphere this is an exclusive venue that encourages deep concentration and creativity.

As writers, we rarely celebrate the every day achievement of getting the writing done.

This was something I wanted to incorporate at every event by Secret Writing Retreats.

 

Whether its just a glass of something fizzy or a full blown confetti cannon party, you'll come away feeling like like you've achieved something and had fun while doing it!

About Us

“The Secret Writing Retreat was a godsend.

It gave me the time and space I needed to really get my head into my book. No thinking about meal prep or childcare or other domestic diversions, just hours of productive work surrounded by nice people in a calm, quiet environment. Bliss!”

Liam Brown,  author of

'Broadcast', 'Skin' and 'Evergreens.'
