October 29th & November 5th 2025 .
Word Kitchen & "The Power of Place "
Are there particular places that mean something to you? A stretch of beach, a hillside, a garden, a roadside bench, a particular view? Pippa will give you some enjoyable writing prompts and ideas to tap into your memories and experiences of landscapes and places. We will then do some short pieces of writing, for example writing postcards to someone - or to our younger selves - describing a place and why you feel connected to it.
If you would rather talk than write, Pippa can record your memory and then write it up for you. You are also welcome to bring in writing you've done at home.
A selection of the writing that emerges will be printed (with your permission, of course) in a beautifully produced anthology, along with writing by young people from Sidmouth College, and a range of other authors and poets. The focus of the anthology will be on East Devon landscapes and places, and it will be called THE POWER OF PLACE. You will be invited to the launch party next year!
The Team @ Sidmouth Oasis Cafe will continue to offer a warm welcome during the sessions , plus the usual hospitality from 12 till 2pm ..
Homemade soup , cake, cuppa and company..
