National Poetry Day is happening all over Britain on Thursday 8 October. We invite you to come along to the Midsteeple in Dumfries to join in with a splendid celebration of poetry in Dumfries and Galloway.
Everything's free.
Drop into the Poetry Porch at Midsteeple where you'll find a rota of welcoming poets in residence. They'll read their favourite poems, or one of yours, or one of their own. You can choose a free Poetry Postcard from the Scottish Poetry Library. There'll be free Poetry Balloons for kids of all ages. You can nominate your favourite poem for West Sound's Favourite Poem Prize Draw. You can bring a poem of your own to read, or add it to our Wall of Words. You can get creative right there and then and add some lines to our Giant Dumfries Poem, which will be written by as many poets as add words to it!
Look forward to seeing you next Thursday!
