Arts Richmond invites you for an afternoon celebrating the best of the borough's young writers on Sunday 17 March.

Arts Richmond Young Writers' Festival is open to all young people who either live or attend school/clubs in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is a chance to demonstrate writing skills of any form: stories, descriptive writing, poems, playlets ,lyrics for songs-whatever the imagination can devise.

From the many submissions to this annual competition which was launched back in September, the judge selected seven finalists from each age group.

Taking place at 2.30pm at The Exchange 75 London Road, TW1 1BE, these pieces will be brought to life by a wonderful group of local actors who will be performing all of the children's work.

This year will have the support of well known author, Anthony Horowitz, famous for the 'Alex Rider' Book and Film series. Anthony Horowitz will be joined by the Mayor of Richmond, Councillor Suzette Nicholson, to present the final winners of each category on the day.
