What is Little Green Pig?
Little Green Pig is a not-for-profit organisation helping and inspiring children and young people to write. If you are aged between 7 and 18 and want to have fun with words, write your own stories, poems, plays and much more then we are for you. We are based in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex.
Little Green Pig runs writing workshops and events for young writers in schools, youth clubs, libraries and other venues. We publish children and young people’s work and put on fantastic open mic nights. We pride ourselves on being ‘a little bit different and a little bit peculiar’, just like the original little green pig.

Little Green Pig Anthology
A collection of the best writing from our Piglets and Saddlebacks will be launched in December. Watch this space for more details and how to get your hands on a copy.

Little Green Pig at Brighton Youth Centre
Little Green Pig runs a weekly writing club at Brighton Youth Centre on Tuesday afternoons during term time, 4 – 6.15 pm, split into two sessions:
4 – 5 pm: Piglets (7 – 11 years)
5.15 – 6.15 pm: Saddlebacks (12 +)
Sessions cost £2.50 on the door or £2 when booked termly in advance – contact us for more information and how to book..

What happens at the weekly club?
There is a different writing topic each week – from short stories, to drama, to poems and much more. We start off with some group games and activities and get stuck into doing our own writing. Don’t worry if you think can’t spell or think of ideas– we’re there to help you at every step. At the end of each session we share our work with the group and give feedback. It’s nothing like school and you have a big part to play in deciding what we do in the sessions. We are a friendly bunch and we welcome new faces and new writing – whatever your level.
