Shut up & Write!

  • 1 Fisher Gate Nottingham, England, NG1 1GD United Kingdom (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Start your week creatively, with a relaxed hour of writing in the company of other writers. We believe that having a group quietly writing alongside you can help with focus and productivity (and be enjoyable, too!). Whether you’re trying to produce a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just something for your work, you are invited to write it with us. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. And don’t worry, no one will demand to see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice.

SCHEDULE: 6pm – Arrive, get yourself something to drink/eat (there’s a bar/cafe at the venue), and introduce yourself and your goals for the session (if you want). 6.15 pm - Timer starts: write for 1 hour. If you arrive late, that’s fine; just grab a seat and quietly start your writing. 7:15 pm - Feel free to either leave or stick around for a while to chat and discuss how the session went, or maybe even write for a little longer. The event is free, but it would be awesome to show our gratitude to our hosts at Fisher Gate Point by purchasing something to eat or drink!

FREE Podcast Trial Sessions

FREE Podcast Trial Sessions

  • 1 Fisher Gate Nottingham, England, NG1 1GD United Kingdom (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We’re inviting a handful of interesting voices to join us at Fishergate Point on Monday 8th July for a series of 15-minute podcast trial sessions. It’s all part of filming some promotional footage for our brand-new studio – and we’d love to feature you.

Each slot lasts 30 minutes total (including setup), with 15 minutes of actual recording time. Come solo or bring a friend – the studio fits two people, and the conversation will be hosted by Al, a documentary filmmaker and podcast host.

You’re welcome to bring along something to show and tell (a book, an object, an idea...) or just rock up and chat with Al about your work, hobby or passion. It's casual, relaxed and filmed to broadcast quality – perfect if you’re curious about podcasting or want some great looking content to share.

Everyone who takes part will be in the running for a free 2-hour podcast session — we’ll gift it to the person who brings the most memorable idea or conversation.

Drop an email to the email address below to book your place.

Price: FREE
