Words & Wordsmiths

Join us at Ironbridge both online and in person for a fun fortnight of brilliant, eccentric and moving poetry and literature from the West Midlands.

Join us for socially-distanced ‘Japanese’ poetry in the garden of The Water Rat Inn, Coalbrook Dale. Try your hand at a poetry writing workshop devoted to ‘work’, in Coalbrookdale, or join a poetry walk and listen to favourite and local poems about Ironbridge and the Gorge. Book your place to log in to The Poets, Prattlers & Pandemonialists online festival poetry Slam, a fast paced poetry competition live in your living room. And keep an eye on the website for other live literature events over the fortnight.
