Writing Workshop

Writing Ecologies

A person writing in a book

© Matt Maude

Deepen your connection with nature through this writing workshop in the midst of our Conservatory, guided by an established author. 

Writers from all corners of the writing world, whether it’s your hobby or profession, are welcome in this unique salon to delve into our deep connection with nature and ecology.

You will begin the gathering in conversation and a Q&A with our guest author, who will then give you a prompt followed by some time to write in the hush of the Conservatory. 

Guided by themes of interdependence, activism, and healing, the workshops run alongside COP25 and our Dystopia is Not the Future season. Five works will bloom from the series, shared in a literary celebration and live performance on 1 Feb 2026. 

Guest author to be announced soon. 

Duration: 1-5pm

Age recommendation: 16+

Facilitated by Write Club London.

Presented by the Barbican's Creative Collaboration team.
