ArtfulScribe is a literature development organisation and community interest company based in Southampton. Our mission is to pave the way for people of all backgrounds and ages to enrich their lives through written and spoken word, to amplify new voices, and to use words to strengthen communities. We support emerging and continuing writers in Hampshire, Dorset, and the Solent region to create new work and develop skills through writing workshops, live events and career-development opportunities. We provide free or low cost creative writing sessions for children, young people and adults; writing for well being sessions; and other creative programmes and live events that celebrate the written and spoken word.

Immerse yourself in the fascinating story of British Army flying by visiting a hidden gem. The Army Flying Museum sits adjacent to the Army Air Corps Airfield at Middle Wallop, just 10 minutes from Andover.  The Museum houses the impressive journey of British soldiers in the air from the pioneering days of balloons and kites to the Glider Pilot Regiment landing at Arnhem, right through to modern helicopter operations. Visitors are frequently surprised at the volume of artefacts, medals, fixed wing and rotary aircraft. Imaginative displays with a clever use of interactives provide for fascinating insight into the history of British Army aviation. The Museum offers a packed event programme and free activities for children at school holidays

Based in Winchester, the Hampshire Writers Society is a member-run society for writers. With the aim of supporting and inspiring the local writing community, we organise talks, workshops and more for our over 100 members.
