Free silent writing session at Barnaby's Lounge in Hastings, held every Tuesday and Thursday, with registration required.
Writers Cafe is back at Barnaby's Lounge on Tuesday 10 November, part of its regular run of silent writing sessions. It's a straightforward setup: you turn up, find a spot, and spend the afternoon writing in company. The session runs from 3pm to 5pm, so it's a good window if you've got a few hours to get stuck into a project without the usual distractions of home.
Barnaby's Lounge is on Robertson Street in central Hastings, tucked between the station and the seafront. It's a Victorian building spread over two floors, with local artists' work on display throughout. While it's well known for its live music — with a programme that leans heavily on jazz — the venue also hosts workshops, classes, quizzes, and socials, and fills Friday nights with karaoke. The writing sessions take place in the bar area, so you'll be working in the same space that hosts the rest of the lounge's weekly activity.

It's a free session, but you do need to register in advance because space is limited. You can book your spot at https://lu.ma/WritersCafe. If you're planning to go, it's worth doing that sooner rather than later, as the limited capacity means it can fill up. The session runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 3pm to 5pm, so if the 10th doesn't quite fit, there's always the next one.
