Ledbury Poetry Festival and Schools
Throughout the year, we work with local schools and teachers to develop and nurture a love for language, creative writing and literacy.
We do this through poet workshops (both in interesting locations and in schools), special readings and performances, poetry trails, classroom activities plus inset sessions for teachers.
