There will be lots of writing exercises and opportunities for participants to share ideas and of course, have fun!
The workshop is being run by Cathy Lewis of Froghopper, an experienced copywriter who specialises in writing for families and children. Cathy wrote the text for two of the sites we’ll be visiting at the AHI conference – the New Display Hall at the Tank Museum, and the family guide to Corfe Castle.
This workshop runs from 9–12 noon on the morning before our annual conference opens. It costs £55 and is open to anyone, whether you are attending the conference or not. Places are limited, so please book now!
