National Poetry Day - Poet's Supper

To celebrate National Poetry Day (which is on Thursday 6th October) and in conjunction with The Forward Arts Foundation, The Plough at Shepreth (South Cambridgeshire) is presenting an evening of all things poetry related and inspired. 

From mid-September, you can find postcards in The Plough which invite you to leave a “Message” – the theme of this year's National Poetry Day. Some will be displayed on the Poetry Board throughout the month, and some will be incorporated into specially-composed poems by The Plough's Guest Poet, Clare Crossman. These will be premiered at the pub's Poet’s Supper on Friday 7th October. This two-course artisanal supper will be accompanied by a musical “Fen Poem” performed by Penny Walker & Bryan Causton, poetry readings by J.S.Watts, Claire Robson and Gallery Poets and a film from The Poetry Society. Full details available here.
