ASPIRING authors can take inspiration from First World War artefacts at a creative writing workshop.

The Durham Light Infantry Museum and Durham Art Gallery, in Aykley Heads, Durham City, is hosting the session on Sunday, March 16.

It will be led by writer Rachel Cochrane, who will encourage authors to write a creative piece about an item from the museum’s collection.

The workshop runs from 10am to 12.30pm and costs £7.50, including museum admission. It will be repeated on April 13 and May 11.
