What is Little Green Pig?
Little
Green Pig Writing Project gets children and young people writing. 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 weekly and monthly workshops in Brighton & Hove,
as well as workshops and events in schools, galleries, 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. If you would like us to run a project or event for you, please contact
us.

What
do we do at a Little Green Pig workshop?
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 you 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.

to get a taste of what we do in the sessions and to read some of the Piglets’
and Saddlebacks’ writing. ‘I
love to be creative and Little Green Pig lets me be imaginative and creative
and put it into words.’ Elliot (13)
