Welcome to Watford Writers

Gathering every Monday to share stories, poetry and writing tips, Watford Writers has been in existence for more than five years

A group of local individuals who love to write, we have a variety of writing styles, passions and interests - some of us are published ... most of us are not!   We welcome anyone who shares an interest in writing, likes to hear stories, would like to offer and receive constructive critique AND who likes to have a laugh whilst enjoying the company of like minded friends!

Meetings start at 7.30 pm every Monday at Cha Cha Cha Cafe in Cassiobury Park. No subscriptions, just pay £3.50 at the door and enjoy the evening including free coffee and biscuits
