The National Trust are hosting a range of writing workshops at Greenway in September to encourage the next generation of budding writers.

The taster workshops include a crime fiction workshop with Cate Quinn, bestselling thriller writer and journalist, and a series of workshops from Jenny Kane, award-winning contemporary women’s author including erotica, young adult and short stories.

Lauren Hutchinson, Senior Marketing and Communications Officer, says: “The house and garden at Greenway inspired Agatha Christie in a number of her novels, and it continues to inspire people today.

“We’re passionate about building on the literary legacy here at Greenway, and with the recent rise in romantasy and young adult fiction, it’s wonderful to host this series of workshops that caters to all genres and tastes.”

Visitors can also see first editions of Christie’s novels on display in the house, and outside take part in a family storymaking trail as well as self-guided wild writing.

Booking is essential for writing workshops, with normal admissions to National Trust Greenway applying.

If visiting Greenway by car, you’ll need to book a parking space in advance through the website. Alternatively, make a day of it and travel to Greenway in style with the Greenway Ferry Company.

Greenway is located on the eastern bank of the River Dart facing the village of Dittisham on the opposite bank.

The estate is two miles from Galmpton, the nearest village and three miles north of Dartmouth.
