About

Celebrate a day filled with words, rhythm, and imagination. Whether poetry fills you with joy or a touch of dread, come along and see what it stirs in you. Listen, share, or read aloud — your own verses or a favourite piece. You might just discover a new love for poetry in the heart of nature.

Meeting Point: Education Centre Directions: From the layby opposite St James Church on Otley Road, walk down the tarmac path towards the river. At the first gate on the right, follow the short dirt path, turn right, and continue until reaching a grassed area. The Education Centre will be straight ahead.
