Local writing group Brightwords is looking to work with Brightlingsea Museum on several projects in 2022.

In the first instance,  Brightwords will use a room in the Museum for its monthly meetings, and when the Museum reopens to the public at Easter, it hopes to have a group member present in the library on a regular basis.

Artefacts and documents from the museum will be used from time to time an inspiration for writing projects and the group also hopes to offer writing workshops for adults and children.
