The Arvon Foundation is about creativity through writing. Open to all, Arvon's residential courses - in four natural settings - challenge, inspire and transform people's creative lives.
We work with writers of every age and at every stage of their writing lives. We run week-long residential creative writing courses in Devon, Shropshire, Yorkshire and Inverness-shire.
Our unique grants scheme means we're completely open access. If you wouldn't be able to attend our courses because of low income, apply for a grant. Money should not be a reason that prevents you from joining us.
So have a look at our programme and book online today! Search our courses directory or request or download our brochure.
