Dear Poetry enthusiasts,
We are thrilled to announce our 3rd Newham Poetry Festival thanks to the funding provided by the Arts Council. Our programme focuses on amplifying marginalised voices supporting young locals, LGBTQ+ individuals, migrants and people from the global majority. We know poetry has the potential to change not only individuals' lives but also communities.
Our programme includes 10 weekly poetry sessions facilitated by well-known poets. Full programme available at www.newhampoetrygroup.com.
We have a maximum capacity of 20 participants per session, so book early to secure your spot.
