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.
