WORKSHOPS exploring the theme of wicked women in fiction are taking place in Broughton and Lancaster.

Led by local authors Caroline Gilfillan and Zosia Wand, the aim of the day-long courses is to explore a theme through fiction and creative writing, meet other book-lovers and to gather reading recommendations.

The workshops, which are suitable for beginners and more established writers, are taking place at the Victory Hall, Broughton, on Saturday, March 3, and at The Gregson Centre, Lancaster, on Saturday, March 17.

There are limited places on the workshops.
