Words And Music At The Skep 2025

A whole day of poetry and music, with local food, beer and cider. You will see some of the most interesting contemporary poets, and some of the most intriguing contemporary musicians, performing across two stages.

The evening will end with a session of Poeoke: everyone is invited to step up to the mic and read a poem of their choice.

This is a family-friendly event - there is plenty of space in the garden for children to play, and there will be a free workshop for kids (5 upwards) run by youth arts group Caper. (Accompanied kids under 12 do not need tickets.)
