Creative Writing Break

Darren Harper’s Creative Writing Break at The Green Park

Writing : the search for meaning

Why do we write? What gives a story its deepest resonance? This creative writing retreat invites fiction and non-fiction writers to explore the search for meaning in storytelling. Through thought-provoking discussions, reflective writing exercises, close readings of Man’s Search for Meaning and selected short stories, participants will uncover how characters—and we ourselves—find purpose. Whether through personal narrative or fiction, this course will help writers craft stories or essays that truly matter.


There is no supplementary charge for single accommodation on any of our activity breaks, and as normal, we can arrange free transport ( on your day of arrival and on your day of departure ) between the hotel and the bus and railway stations.

Details about all of our activity breaks are readily available - either download a copy from this section, ask for them during you stay, or just telephone the hotel and ask us to forward a programme for whatever activity you are interested in.
