Words on Wednesday 16th September 2026
Dear Writers,
If you have enjoyed this weekend's Swindon Open Studios don't forget there is still next weekend where you get to enjoy Artists' work in their own Studios. You can access full details of what's on over next weekend online, or pick up one of their brochures from the Hub, Library, galleries, and cafes around Swindon.
As of September 2026 Write Along Tuesday has now been cancelled. If in the future more people wish for it to continue there is potential for it to be reinstated.
Please note that we cannot confirm Artswords dates until we receive Artswords Newsletter on the 1st day of each month, so we really appreciate your patience. Just a reminder that the Artswords Writer's Kitchen and Artswords Writer's Cafe now cost £2 per session, but grants are available for those who cannot afford the costs.
Here's your weekly update:
