Words in the City Programme Changes

WITCbannerWe were sad to hear that the World Curry Festival have postponed their event until later in the year.

Words in the City will continue on 6 – 7 June in Bradford with a few minor programme changes.
All ticketed events, masterclasses, FREE family events in the Poetry Yurt, the Emergency Poet and Caravan Gallery are taking place as advertised.

The Poetry Slam will take place 5.15 – 6.15pm on Saturday 6 June at Watersones, Hustlergate, Bradford. The winners will receive Waterstones vouchers and a slot at the Ilkley Literature Festival in October as prizes. The Sunday performances by the winners have been cancelled.

The Fringe will open at 10.15am on Saturday 6 June with a reading by Ian Oldfield

The following events have been cancelled:
Roundhouse Poetry Collective, Hip Hop and Blake with Testament (we hope to reschedule both performances for the October Festival), Live Wires and Ready Steady Poem.

Tickets for Tony Harrison are selling fast but there are plenty more fantastic poetry events taking place, including John Hegley, Jo Shapcott, Don Paterson, Imtiaz Dharker and Zaffar Kunial.
