A Lovely Poetry Festival presents... Poetry Factory

Curious about Poetry? Interested in just having a go? Want to find out where the magic gets made…?

Why not pay a visit to the Poetry Factory?

Poetry is for Everyone. 
As part of A Lovely Word Festival this year, we've created an interactive Poetry Factory in the Everyman street café.

Open all week long from 10am-7pm, we want you to come along and fill the street with your words. 

Featuring Beth Caverley's Poetry Machine (Thu-Sat afternoon), an interactive peg-a-poem exhibition, a local poets' listening booth and more - the Poetry Factory is the perfect way to dip your toe into the festival this year! 

So why not come and join in the magic? Sounds Lovely, doesn't it...

The Poetry Machine: Heart-fizzing poetry inventions made especially for you!

Poet, Beth Calverley, will be joining us with her magical Poetry Machine. This is your chance to experience poetry, created in response to your thoughts, feelings, ideas, and discoveries.

Pop by on Thursday, Friday, Saturday (7th, 8th, 9th July)  afternoon to co-create a poem with Beth, weaving your words into a poem to take home with you. Just follow the sound of her vintage typewriter and look out for the machine's bright yellow umbrella, flagpole and bubble engine...

You're welcome to take part on your own, come along with a loved one, or bring a group.
