The UK’s longest and largest poetry festival with ten days packed with poetry readings, slams, family activities, poetry workshops, conversations, events and celebrations. Plus, a year-round programme of events in schools, in the community and for emerging writers.
The festival provides opportunities for young people to write and explore language with real poets, also opportunities for internships in arts administration, job opportunities (hospitality, tourism, gripping), and development of a future audience. Plus, a budding young person exchange programme with Spain for up to 6 Spanish students.
