Hive Young Writers Sheffield is a free writing group for young people aged 14 to 19. It is held at the Central Children's Library fortnightly on Wednesdays during term time, 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

The group supports young people to develop their writing through a wide range of creative writing workshops, visiting writers and related writing projects and opportunities.

The group is informal and friendly and refreshments are provided. You don’t have to think you’re a great writer to attend, you just need a keenness to try new things.
