Welcome to Swanwick

The Writers’ Summer School, Swanwick, has been captivating audiences for well over 60 years.

Believed to be the oldest residential writers’ school in the world, the 'magic of Swanwick' is legendary. For one spell-binding week every August, over 200 published and unpublished writers across all genres gather together to renew old friendships and forge new ones.

Many travel huge distances from around the UK and abroad just to be there. For them, the Swanwick week is a non-negotiable date in their writing year.

We look forward to welcoming you to the magic of Swanwick.
