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.

Saturday 6 & Sunday 7: Activities all day from 11.15am-5pm, including:

Chad Taylor Dance and Poetry/Rap workshop 11.15am-12pm

Poetry Live/ performance: 3pm-4pm
