We're delighted you’ve found us!
Formed in 2000, Derry Playhouse Writers currently has a membership of around fifty who attend our weekly sessions whenever they have a felt need to be with other writers so generally there are 8-10 at any given session. We meet every Wednesday afternoon, 1:00pm - 4:00pm at The Playhouse, 5-7 Artillery Street, Derry / L’Derry, N. Ireland and enthusiastically welcome new people. For those of you who may have been experiencing the dreaded writer’s block syndrome—we will help you to weather and wrench out of it.
Please look through this web site to get a full description of all we have to offer—then join us one Wednesday afternoon to determine if we are the group you’ve been seeking. If you are unable to attend one of our meetings either due to physical disability or distance, then please sign-up as an I-Member via the Contact Us link above. If you simply want to be able to read our work you may apply for our Library Card which allows you access to our Library.
