A Ghost Story for Christmas

6pm - 7pm, The Nook

Inspired by the Victorian tradition of sharing ghost stories by the fire, this interactive session invites you to explore the mysterious, the macabre, and the magical.

We'll guide you through techniques for building tension, creating haunting settings, and putting flesh on the bones of your cursed characters. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or a curious beginner, this is your chance to experiment with storytelling in a supportive, creative environment.
