The UK’s longest-running poetry festival turns thirty. From 2 –11 July 2027, we celebrate thirty years of poets with a core programme of live readings, conversations, workshops, film and music – alongside our imaginative year-round education programme and a series of community-led poetry events in and around Herefordshire.
*Established in 1996, Ledbury Poetry held its first festival in 1997. Our thirtieth-anniversary programme honours how poetry has evolved since our conception, its place in our present, and the role it will play in our future.
