JULY 2026 - Memoir Writing with CRAICLY at Derrymullen Farm, Kildare, Ireland 

This July,

“Walk & Write”

Sunday afternoons on the farm through July.

What to Expect

A series of Sunday gatherings at Derrymullen Farm, the homeplace of CRAICLY STORIES.

Hosted by Jane Gormley, CRAICLY founder, these Sunday gatherings will bring you on a gentle, guided walk within the farm to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Followed by a unpressurised memoir writing session in the straw sheds followed by (optional) story sharing together over a light lunch, coffee and cake.

Best enjoyed as a series of four July Sunday sessions to build practice, confidence and ease.

Pricing - 200 Euro for 4 sessions.

❋ Friendly Environment

The CRAICLY community is friendly, inclusive and celebratory of story exchanges within the community.

❋ Natural Surroundings

This is an organic farm environment, a combination of cattle and forestry. Far from the roads, and with lots of internal farm lanes to enjoy.

❋ Writing Practice

We will be enjoying the place, the company and the inspiration that comes from hearing stories from the farm, people and place and purpose to help enjoy your own memoir writing.

❋ A Supportive Space

Sharing your story over a casual, sociable light lunch is encouraged, but not forced. We all enjoy telling and hearing stories, and this is ultimately what these four sessions are built to encourage.

What to expect

Arrive & Meet

We will gather in the main farm yard, where the sheds are used as a space in the Summer months. Parking in yard, and fields.
