Shut Up & Write!® Ealing London (*New Location - “The Grove Pub”)

✍️ SHUT UP & WRITE — EALING

**NEW VENUE FOR FEB 2026
📍 The Grove Pub Ealing | 🗓 Tuesday Evenings 6-8pm

A no-nonsense, heads-down writing session in a lovely, cosy bar.
Novels. Short stories. Poems. Biographies. Film scripts.
All styles. All levels. One rule: we write.

Sit together. Plug in. Tune out.
Get real words on the page — with other local writers doing the same.

🚫 NOT A CRIT GROUP

No reading aloud.
No feedback circles.
No workshops.

Shut Up & Write is exactly what it says on the tin:
1.5 hours of focused writing, plus relaxed chats in the breaks.

⏰ THE FLOW

6.00 — Arrive, hellos, grab a drink
Quick spin round: what piece are you working on tonight?

Headphones on. Deep focus.

7.00–7.15 — 🍻 Break (15 mins)
Chat. Drink. Or keep writing if you’re in the zone.

7.15–8.00 — ✍️ Silent Writing (45 mins)
Back in. Finish strong.

8.00+ — 😌 Relax
Head home, stay for a drink, talk writing — or keep going.

🎒 WHAT TO BRING

• Laptop / notebook (charger)
• Headphones or earbuds
• Whatever helps you shut up & write

(We keep chatter to breaks only — that’s the deal.)

⸻

ℹ️ GOOD TO KNOW

• Where are we?: left-hand table area (look for laptops); ask bar staff if unsure
• Power: some Plug sockets around but bring a Powerbank to be safe.
• Wi-Fi: Available in the bar — or go offline (or tether to mobile is always easier!)
• Support the host: Please buy a drink/food at The Grove (no outside drinks pls)

⸻

Turn up. Write hard. Leave lighter.
See you Tuesday. ✍️🍺
