National Poetry Library

The mobile version of the National Poetry Library comes to Whirligig Festival as part of A Poet in Every Port, a national project led by Southbank Centre celebrating poetry in coastal communities across the UK.  A Poet in Every Port forms part of the 75th anniversary celebrations of the Festival of Britain – a landmark nationwide celebration of arts, design, science, technology and culture.

The Library is visiting 11 coastal communities on a national road trip, and we are delighted it is pulling into Whirligig Festival with a varied programme of games, activities and performance.

Italian Gardens, Saturday & Sunday: 11.15am-6pm
