The Eccleshall Poets Live at the Eccleshall Arts Festival

We’re delighted to welcome the Eccleshall Poets to this year’s Eccleshall Arts Festival for a special afternoon of spoken word and creative reflection.

From heartfelt verses to thought-provoking reflections, the Eccleshall Poets will be sharing selections from their individual published works, as well as pieces from their collaborative collections. Known for their warmth, wit and wide-ranging styles, this talented local group has made a real mark on our literary landscape.

A Tribute in Verse
Their latest poetry collection is especially poignant – created in honour of the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day, this body of work reflects on themes of remembrance, resilience, and peace. Expect moving tributes, powerful imagery, and a thoughtful reminder of the sacrifices that shaped our history.

Whether you’re a lifelong lover of poetry or simply curious to hear something new, come along, grab a seat, and let their words transport you.

A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere – and a wonderful chance to support our local writers.
