Scratch Night with Jessica Stanley

Next date: Tuesday, 02 June 2026 | 06:00 PM to 07:30 PM

Step out of your comfort zone and into the cosy, supportive library to join us for a participatory event that will get you writing something fresh and sharing your work with others over the course of one evening. Whether you’re an emerging storyteller, an old hand at writing or just looking to challenge yourself, this is your chance to create a brand-new piece of work…all in just 90 minutes.

How does it work?

Our Scratch Night kicks off at 6pm, at which point participants will gather while your host reveals a surprise prompt to spark your imagination. From there, participants have 45 minutes to write a short piece of writing in any form, inspired by the provided theme.

All styles and experience levels are welcome. Each piece has a strict 3-minute time limit for the presentation portion of the evening.
