Logo of Penkhull Village Writers Group featuring a church steeple, houses, a large open book, and a feather quill, with green hills and trees in the background.

Our very talented writers from the Penkhull Village Writer’s Group will be showcasing some of their work each month with an ‘eclectic’ mix of short stories & poems for you to read and enjoy. So put the kettle on, make a brew (possibly have a biscuit or two!), sit back, put your feet up and …… relax.

We are currently at full capacity, but keep watching this space for updates.
