Creative Writing & Book Group


The Cedar Tree Creative Writing

The Cedar Tree Writers

This is a friendly, encouraging group that meet once a month. We have a ‘cuppa’ and chat.. sometimes even a biscuit or two and sit back to listen and read out works we have prepared from a choice of prompts, given at each meeting.

There are no set rules to the piece, we have short stories, fiction, non fiction, poetry… these can take anything from a minute to 15 minutes or so to read. Sometimes we may read from work previously written…sometimes we may just come to listen to the delights in store!

Please contact us for the next meeting to let us know your coming, and get the prompts! Unless of course you would just like to come along and listen to begin with!

Writing Workshops/mini retreat!

Your workshop will begin with connection to your writing through visualisations and inspirational objects and themes. Simple, fun writing exercises will get the words moving from your head onto the page , with an opportunity to share and discuss, if you choose.

The Cedar Tree has a wonderfully creative ambience, leave self doubt at the door. Step into your creative self and find your essence. These workshops can be beautiful introduction to your writing, or perhaps a refreshing look at how you write…or just a lovely way to spend time meeting with friends, making friends and having a pleasurable morning.

Poetry Reflections

Do you love poetry, are you intrigued by poetry, has a particularly poem touched your life? We would love for you to join us on our monthly meet ups to engage with poetry of all sorts! The intention is not to be a serious critique group!
We come together share a poem, listen ..comment.. if  we feel the urge to express out thoughts! We have always have a wide range of poets anything from Larkin to Benjamin Zephaniah to Heaney and more!  A glorious way to spend an afternoon!

Book Group

This is a friendly group of book lovers, looking to be inspired and uplifted by the books chosen in this group. We are aiming for books that have meaning, make us contemplate, take us on a journey where the words resonate and maybe change or enlighten the way we see things. These may be true stories, fictional or words of wisdom. Although the original plan was to read, be happy and light hearted, on reflection, sometimes life is just not like that and shadows and tears have their teachings.
We keep connected via Facebook and try to meet every 4-6 weeks depending on the book!
