The Exetreme Imagination Festival comes to Exeter Cathedral!

Together, our aim is to promote creative writing for and by young people, as well as for older generations who wish to reminisce over their own childhood memories and writings.

We are excited to offer a number of workshops and activities over the half term week, hosted by three prominent, local children’s authors who live in or come from Devon.

For more information and to book, please call 01392 413174
