A Spot of Poetry - free poetry readings every Wednesday afternoon

A Spot of Poetry is a series of free informal poetry readings taking place every Wednesdays at 2.30pm throughout the summer, until the end of September 2010.

Weather permitting these readings will take place in the garden behind the Wordsworth Museum. In the event of rain they will be in the Jerwood Centre Lower Rotunda.

Each reading will feature new and classic poems from poets and staff members of the Wordsworth Trust, but in addition this year we are proud to present special guest poets from across the North West of England and the borders of Scotland.
