Writers' Weekend Short Break


Writing Workshop Weekend Short Break with Tony Watts at Holme Lacy House, Herefordshire.

Do you want to start writing?  Improve your writing?  Or write your life?  Then join a Warner Leisure Hotels writing weekend.

Brilliant, inspirational, and quite the most motivating workshop I've ever attended. That's just some of the lavish praise received after our 2009 writing workshops run by Mature Times editor Tony Watts.

And for 2010, the format will be even better. You'll have a full six hours of tuition in small classes tailored to your ability and what YOU want to do, plus informal evening sessions where you'll socialise with everyone on all the courses and share your work, your knowledge and the authors that have inspired you.

"The only issue raised by those taking part in '09 was that everyone would like more time", says Tony, so we've built that in. And what we have also found is that the supportive input of other writers provides a huge boost to people's confidence. So there's more of that too.


"It doesn't matter whether you are nervous beginners or experienced and skilled writers - everyone gains confidence and makes progress on these courses. Many of my former pupils have now published the book they've always meant to write or are seeing their short stories and poetry published. Writing releases your creativity, opens your mind and can act as a wellspring for other parts of your life. It's emotional, exciting and very fulfilling."


A Warner Experience is a fantastic way to make your stay with us extra special. In addition to your chosen Experience, you’ll find everything you need to unwind on a perfect short break, including:


• English or continental breakfasts
• 3 course evening meals
• Great accommodation offering home from home comforts at our hotels, or traditional chalets at our coastal villages
• Indoor and outdoor sport and leisure facilities, from swimming and saunas to croquet and fencing
• Choice of evening activities, including live nightly performances
