Inspire's Poetry Festival is back for 2024! Join us from 26th September - 3rd October to celebrate a week of wonderful words with performances, workshops, exhibitions and film screenings.

Featuring celebrated poetry stars, regional favourites and cutting-edge newcomers, and with styles ranging from the formal lyric to freestyle spoken word, this year’s festival promises a plethora of poetry delights at venues around the county.
