In our Young Writers Workshop, children will be invited to step into the grand rooms at Harewood House and imagine the characters, conversations and stories that might have taken place here.  

If these walls could talk… 

What stories do houses hold? What secrets or mysteries might be hiding in plain sight? 

Guided by experts from the University of York, children will be encouraged to soak up their surroundings, take in the sounds, smells and sights of the space to write their own Jane Austen-inspired piece of creative writing.  

Children will be encouraged to share their writing with their family and friends, and carry on scribbling when they get home!
