SUMMARY:let's go for a wander
DESCRIPTION:To mark the beginning of this year’s Wild Goose Festival: Journey with the Wild Geese Movement Challenge\, we’re starting with something very simple. \n\n\n\nA wander.  \n\n\n\nWe’d love to invite anyone and everyone to join us for a relaxed wander through town – a chance to stretch your legs\, meet a few new people\, and take a moment out of your day. \n\n\n\nNo pressure.No agenda. \n\n\n\nJust people going for a walk together. \n\n\n\nWe’ll meet at Fountain Square outside The Stove Café\, before heading on an easy route through Dock Park\, down towards the Kirkpatrick Macmillan Bridge\, across to the Suspension Bridge\, and back to Fountain Square. \n\n\n\nYou can join for the whole journey\, or just part of it. Walk\, wheel\, wander – go at your own pace. \n\n\n\nAnd to sweeten the journey\, we’ll have some ice creams waiting.  \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome – friends\, families\, colleagues\, neighbours\, and anyone who simply fancies getting out for a walk. \n\n\n\nAccessibility Information: \n\n\n\nThe meeting point at Fountain Square outside The Stove Café is on level ground with step-free access.
The full walking route is step-free and suitable for wheelchair users and mobility aids.
Paths through Dock Park are wide\, surfaced park paths.
The route across Kirkpatrick Macmillan Bridge and the Suspension Bridge uses level pedestrian walkways.
There are no steps\, stiles\, or barriers along the planned route.
Participants are welcome to walk\, wheel\, or join for part of the route at their own pace.
The walk is informal and flexible\, so people can turn back or rest whenever they wish.
Accessible toilets are available at The Stove Café before and after the walk.

SUMMARY:Write!
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to WRITE! Join us at our monthly creative writing workshop with author Karl Drinkwater. \n\n\n\nWRITE! is all about letting your imagination guide your hand. In each session\, we’ll chat about a writing-related topic\, then provide prompts and a theme. Then\, attendees are allowed to write based on the inspiration. It might be a character sketch\, a piece of description or dialogue. The key thing is that it will be your words. They’d never have been born if you’d stayed at home that night. \n\n\n\nThe short piece you write could be practice or a creative outlet. However\, it could become the seed of a short story or part of a longer work. We end each friendly and informal session with the opportunity for some people to read out what they wrote\, as a celebration of the new words. \n\n\n\nSessions are expertly guided by thought-provoking prompts\, offering dedicated time for free-flowing expression. Afterwards\, participants have the opportunity to share their creations within supportive groups. They can receive valuable tips to enhance their writing skills and boost confidence. Whether you’re rediscovering the joy of the creative process or seeking inspiration for your existing project\, Write fosters a collaborative and experimental environment. Fuel your next big project with the friendly encouragement and creative energy that defines Write. \n\n\n\nOpen to: everyone! It doesn’t matter whether you’ve never written anything before or if you’re an established author looking for a brief shot of espresso creativity. It’s not a course\, so you can attend any or all sessions\, as you wish. \n\n\n\nSo come along. We’ll provide the inspiration and a supportive group of new friends. All you need to do is bring your pen*\, engage your heid\, and write! \n\n\n\n(* Of course\, it’s fine to bring a laptop or gadget instead of a pen and paper. Words are words\, whatever the medium!) \n\n\n\nThe Stove Cafe will be serving drinks and nibbles from 6.30 pm – 7 pm
