Each workshop follows a different theme.

Annalie Seaman is writer in residence and on Monday 13 February will lead the session 'The Edge of an Old Empire: Migrations and Innovations in Roman Eastbourne'.

Two more sessions take place in March, an extended workshop on Monday 6 March celebrates 199 years of the RNLI in Eastbourne. then on Monday 27 March, Part 2 'Rescue' includes a visit from the Beachy Head Chaplains.

Councillor Margaret Bannister, Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism & Culture, said, “The creative writing workshops are a wonderful way to explore the fascinating and complex landscape heritage of Beachy Head and inspire the writer within us.

“The sessions look at aspects of geology and archaeology, social history and the natural environment and each workshop will be layered with poetry and prose and stories.”

Tickets for each workshop are £8 and are available online
