Pop-Up Poetry

Full Description

Local poets in one of the town’s best-loved venues: what could be better than that for a community festival offering “poetry for all big or small”? 

Brought to you as part of Tunbridge Wells Poetry Festival, this FREE afternoon pop-up showcases diverse and original poetry from around the region, with a smattering of performers from further afield.  

Last year’s event attracted a capacity crowd and introduced poets from Eastbourne, Hastings, Brighton and London as well as featuring publications and projects from local collectives. From eco-poetry to humorous verse, there really was sonnet for everyone! This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better, so reserve your space in the café while you still can. 

If you love poetry, do pop in. If you love good cake and coffee, do pop in. If you love poetry and cake and coffee you would be daft not to. 

Of course, you may be one of those people who thinks they do not like poetry, in which case why not put is to the test and see if we can convince you otherwise? We really do aim to deliver poetry for all, just like our strapline says.
