Haunted Birmingham is a campaign delivered by the National Literacy Trust, which asks local young people (aged 8+) and adults to write scary stories set in Birmingham.

The campaign aims to raise engagement with reading and writing, and to connect participants to their local area. 

Our launch event is targeted at teachers and community workers. It will explain how to deliver 'Haunted Birmingham' - and engage participants in place-themed creative writing. All attendees will receive a full set of pick-up-and-go resources to use in their setting.

This event is part of the University of Birmingham Exchange's 'Booktober' programme. It takes place at The Exchange, Centenary Square, Birmingham (B1 2DR). 

Tickets are free but booking is essential.
