Welshpool Poetry Festival
Of course, it’s wonderful to see the return of in-person events, and to be able to offer the best hybrid festival we can. It will be an exciting leap into this brave new world and we hope friends old and new will join us for what is certain to be an amazing day and evening, whether in-person or on-line. THANK YOU for supporting us, believing in us and staying loyal to what Jonathan Edwards recently called “one of the best poetry festivals anywhere”.
