Poetry Films.
We’ve been happy to have commissioned the making of almost 30 short films of Sheffield based poets reading their work. From last year’s project ’21 poets for Sheffield’ to this years ‘Distant Lands – The Steel Trail’, we’ll be playing the work of some of our local poets and a few other favourites as well. If you’d like to suggest some please post suggestions on the wall.
Writing Games
We’re going to be running an open running workshop throughout the day which people are encouraged to contribute too. From the collective story (write a line, pass it on) to more specific exercises, there will be space for you to pick up a pen and start writing.
Featured Guests.
We’re also going to be featuring a few of the leading poets from the local scene and a few from further afield.
Also if anyone would like to sell books/leave flyers for other projects there will be a table manned

have a wonderful time at the Festival!
Oh it was a fabulous day – thank you 🙂
Be sure none of those mischievous faeries have stolen away in your
lucky socks. They love to tickle toes, as well as stealing teeth…
The mischievous fae behaved that day, But do not think they’ve gone away; For in your socks, or by your chair, They always lurk, they’re always there!

Hope you had a wonderful time
its a perfect place to spend the day..I would have gone if I were there!
take care…
It was a fantastic day and the winter gardens suited the event perfectly. I think there were 36 poets who shared their work. I really enjoyed the day.
So good to read your poetry at an event. Too bad for me

Yes it was a fantastic and supportive experience. Keep your eyes open in your area, and if there isn’t anything, try and set something up yourself 🙂
Good idea 🙂
