About This Event

Morpeth Library is set to host a three-week series of workshops entitled Reading Round, led by the author David Mark as part of the Royal Literary Fund programme. The sessions commence on Thursday 17 September 2026 at 10am and will be held within the Morpeth Sports and Leisure Centre. Tailored for anyone with an interest in reading and writing, the workshops are designed to explore the craft of storytelling through group discussion and hands-on practical exercises. Participants will have the opportunity to examine narrative techniques and develop their own creative skills in a supportive environment. Admission to the series is free of charge, making it an accessible opportunity for local residents and visitors alike. Whether you are a seasoned writer or simply curious about the art of storytelling, these sessions promise to offer insight and inspiration under the guidance of an experienced author. The Reading Round workshops represent a valuable addition to the library’s community programme, encouraging literary engagement and fostering a shared appreciation for the written word. No prior experience is necessary, and all are welcome to join.

The workshops will be held within the Morpeth Sports and Leisure Centre, where participants will gather to discuss and dissect a short story and a poem. The sessions are designed to be engaging and interactive, with no prior homework required. This unique approach makes the programme accessible to both literary enthusiasts and those new to the world of storytelling.

David Mark will lead the sessions, providing guidance and support as participants explore the craft of storytelling. The three-week series of workshops is part of the Royal Literary Fund's National Year of Reading programme, with events taking place in libraries across the country.

The sessions will take place on Thursdays at 10am, and attendees are advised to book individual places for each session they wish to attend.
