National Poetry Day was founded in 1994 and is a celebration of poetry in all it’s forms. Everyone is encouraged to join in and discover, share and create poems. There’s all kinds of events in all kinds of places – check out www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk for more.
FenSpeak is Ely’s poetry, spoken word and storytelling event. Our next event will be on Wednesday 20th October. At the moment we’re not sure whether this event will be in person or online, so the best idea is to come and find us on Facebook and we will keep you posted.
