Come and write In the Shadow of the Inklings!

EVERY SUNDAY, 10:30–1PM

Every Sunday, writers (of any genre and form, at any level) are invited to come at 10:30am for a warm welcome a free coffee and a piece of cake, a check in and a chat, before we respond to a brief (optional) prompt at 10:45 to get us in flow, then we start writing together for two hours at 11am.

Please bring your own mug and allow the bar staff to get the pub set up for the morning by not entering before 10.30 - even if the doors appear open! (And a preloved novel or book of poetry for the book swap shelves is always welcome.) Thank you!

The Lamb and Flag is a pub with a wealth of literary connections, not least the informal group of writers known as the “Inklings” (CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien and their circle), and Thomas Hardy (who wrote Jude the Obscure there), to mention but a few literary greats who have passed through their doors.

The group is popular and growing - please contact Kate to ensure a place, or turn up on time at 10.30 on the day. The group is advertised on other sites too which is why the numbers here are limited to 5. If a session appears as sold out, please contact Kate directly who might be able to find room.

Sessions are run on a ‘Pay-what-you-can’ option to Kate to keep the sessions viable. And the money goes towards printing, preparing prompts, organising events and supporting Kate's time running the community project.
There will be free tea and coffee and cake - order before 11am.

There are QR codes on the tables to make a payment, or you can pay in cash. The recommended rates are:
Suggested rates:

  • £10 : Standard (‘I’m doing ok thanks’)
  • £15–20 : Supporter (‘helping those that can’t’)
  • £7 : ‘Things are tight’
  • £5 : ‘Feeling skint’
  • Supported : ‘sorry, can’t afford to pay’, but grateful to those who can pay a little more to keep this group running
  • Another amount of your choosing.... THANK YOU!

Kate is on hand for advice and inspiration if you need it. (Kate is an exPublisher, editor, ghostwriter, bookfixer, poet and novelist who runs workshops and spoken word events in Oxford, London, N Yorkshire, Scotland and beyond).

Contact Kate for more info. Or just turn up at 10:30 with a pen, paper/laptop and an open mind.

“Kate is an inspiring leader, the group so welcoming, giving me permission to write and believe in myself as an author.” – KB
