A Call for Festival Poets

We are thinking forward to the summer and the 2022 Wolvercote and Wytham Midsummer Festival, to be held 18–25 June, with the Festival theme being Footprints. One of the popular Festival events is the Poetry & Music Evening. 

We are looking for local poets. Would you like to contribute one or two poems and join us for a convivial evening of readings, music, and wine in a lovely setting?

This year the Poetry & Music Evening is to be held on Monday 20th June.  

Time:     7.30-9.30
Venue:  St. Peter’s Church Rooms

We have chosen this venue as it has access to a very pleasant outdoor courtyard, which will work well if the sun shines on us.

Ros Bleach and Phillipa Hardman are planning and hosting the evening. Please let us know straight away if you would like to take part. 

Please send by June 1sone or two of your poems on this year’s theme to: 

Ros Bleach at bleachfamily@hotmail.com and Phillipa Hardman at phillipa.hardman@virginmedia.com.

Ideally, we would include every poem we receive, but this depends on time constraints. All the poems, including those that are not read on the night, will be posted onto the Wolvercote and Wytham website Poetry Corner, with your agreement, of course. If you’re unable to be there in person, your submitted poems can be read by someone else.

Much looking forward to hearing from you and reading your poems.

Ros and Phillipa
