Stories from the Forests of Leeds

A year of hearing, creating and learning about stories, led by author and theatre producer Daniel Ingram-Brownin association with LCI and the Big Bookend.

Woodcutters in Killingbeck, wolves on Woodhouse Moor and heroes emerging from their back-to-backs.

Join us for a year of learning about, and creating, stories. Each month we will gather for a creative writing workshop, discussion seminar, book group or inspirational outing. This crash course in storytelling will result in the publication of a book of short stories, packed with tales from the Forests of Leeds.
