Make sure to get there early to secure a seat – this tent gets busy!
Luke Wright is a poet, theatre-maker and broadcaster. Luke makes a new show or play every year and schlepps it around a variety of glorious venues, occasionally presenting stuff on the radio in-between shows.
Another amazing line up of the hottest poets, comedians, and spoken word artists – a stellar line up in our First Word tent.
There will be a bookshop over the festival weekend so be sure to visit to find more about the writers and performers!
