The Writing&Talking Club at London Metropolitan University challenges you to become writers, poets, podcasters, actors, directors, filmmakers, journalists, barristers and more. You will try out a wide variety of creative and fun activities to improve your communication skills and writing and talking specialisms in a fun and relaxed environment with new friends.

Our sessions are taught by theatre maker and director Tory Sandars, and a range of other professionals. You will explore our amazing facilities through interactive workshops, such as holding a real court trial in our mock courtroom, creating radio shows and films in our TV studios, and acting in our drama studios.

You will get to take part in an exciting Masterclass, trips and exhibit your work as part of the National Saturday Club’ Summer Show. For 2026-2027 we are looking forward to developing skills in Puppetry and Shadow Puppetry, Shakespeare, working on podcasting skills and developing experiences in our TV News Broadcast studio.

The best bit is that you get to tailor the sessions ensuring they interest you. Take the next step to discover your potential today!
