The go-to place for writers in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire
Poetry Together is the brainchild of author, broadcaster, and poetry fanatic, Gyles Brandreth, and unites younger and older generations through the joy of poetry.
Last year's participants from Gloucestershire have been invited to a special event at Central Hall, Westminster this November, to celebrate all things poetry, hosted by Gyles.
The project is continuing this year in which participants are asked to connect with the opposite end of the generational spectrum to perform poetry for one another over tea and cake. This year's theme is 'friendship', and any original pieces written can be submitted, with the opportunity to win £200 worth of books or even to perform their poems live on ITV's This Morning. The deadline for this is 20th December so that schools have the whole of the Autumn term to take part. You can find more information here.
