Off The Rails – Creative Writing Project Ages 13–18 | FREE
All aboard for a wild ride through Totton’s past, present and future! Off The Rails is a creative writing and art project for young people aged 13–18 – and it’s FREE.
Join local author AJ Hardingson for four fun, hands-on workshops where you’ll dive into Totton’s Victorian railway history, dream up the future of rail travel, and bring it all to life through poetry, flash fiction, and collage. You’ll learn creative hacks for writing and editing, get stuck into making bold, brilliant artwork, and help co-create an epic exhibition that will be on display at Totton Railway Station.
Whether you’re a word wizard, total beginner, or just want to try something new – this is your stop.
Workshop Dates:🗓️ 19th, 22nd, 26th & 29th August🕐 1–3pm📍Totton Creative Hub
Exhibition Launch: Saturday 27th September, 2pm at Totton Railway Station
Off The Rails is part of Railway 200, a national celebration of 200 years of the railways, brought to you by Totton Community Rail and Fluid Motion Theatre Company, funded by Culture in Common and supported by South Western Railway.
