LEDBURY and poetry have a long and warm relationship nurtured over many years.

Ledbury Poetry put on a fabulous festival every year which aims to have the whole community involved in the written and spoken word.

National Poetry Day is on October 3.

Throughout the day Ledbury Poetry staff, volunteers, and trustees will be reading some of the nation’s favourite poems, as submitted by members of the public.

Please let Ledbury Poetry know your favourites at director@ledburypoetry.org.uk and then look out for them on our social media on October 3.

The theme for National Poetry Day on October 3 is counting.

Aiming to inspire a love of poetry, this annual event provides a fantastic opportunity to explore and celebrate poetry.
