Events – obviously there are local, national and international events as well as physical and online – here we focus on the events that can be at least appreciated online! If you know of one we have not listed then please get in touch.

1) World Poetry Writing Month – this is us! We run a poem a day writing challenge every February. We also have an insta as well as a FB group etc…

2) World Poetry Day is the 21st of March.

3) National Story Telling Week starts on the 1st of Feb till the 9th of Feb. There are normally lovely local events on for this one though you might have to join your local story telling group or society, or maybe a national version to find out all that is going on. Many poems are actually narratives or stories and bards would have used various poetic techniques to remember their tales.

4) World Book Day is on the 6th of March and is for families. Their website includes various activity ideas and is worth checking out!

5) National Poetry Writing Month is a poem a day challenge that occurs in April each year.

6) National Poetry Day is in October and is UK based.
