The Leamington Poetry Festival really is for everyone. This year we are focusing the festival right into the heart of new communities in our town and surrounding area. We have amazing headline guests, comedy, workshops, young poets, peace initiatives, open mics, competitions and of course, Poetry in the Park.

One thing we are certain of is that we won't be selling any tickets; not one! And that's because every single event at the festival will be completely free of charge to attend.

But entire festivals don't come cheap, and while the rather fabulous people at the Royal Leamington Spa Town Council have been very generous in their support, we are still some way short of covering our costs, especially as we did all this last year and are now having to do it all again post-covid.

Please donate a few quid to help us share the poetry love this summer and share this page to encourage others to support us too. Every pound you donate now will make a huge difference to the lives of so many people. If we hit our target we will have our costs covered, if we exceed it we can spend a bit more on promoting poetry to an even wider audience and making the festival even bigger and better!

Thanks for reading and thanks for donating. It really is gratefully received, plus it officially makes you a legend.
