- Part of:
- Crime & Thrillers Weekend
Children & Young Peoples Day - The Mystery of the Missing Macaroni Pies
For the first time ever, Cromarty Crime & Thrillers Weekend will include a day of mystery solving and creative writing for a younger audience. Young sleuths will solve The Mystery of the Missing Macaroni Pies, a specially written work set in the Cromarty Bakery. They will then spend the afternoon working together on a group mystery story plus some of their own, of their own which will be published in an anthology later in the year. Every person attending will receive a free copy of the book. Author and workshop leader from Wire Scribblers, Rob Parker will lead the day with fellow author and ex-police officer FE (Sharon) Birch.
Having visited several thousand children in school settings around the country since 2016, Rob has seen what works and what doesn't - and seen the change in emphasis the teaching of creative writing has taken. This workshop aims to bring back the fun and simple joy to writing stories, giving the power and confidence back to the children themselves. There is no right answer, no wrong answer, just your own imagination and the excitement of creation.
Suitable for ages 8-16, the day costs £20 per person or just £5 if you live in an IV11 postcode. With thanks to the Middleton Trust for their support. Bring a packed lunch. To book, download this booking form or email [email protected]
