Torbay Festival of Poetry

Torbay, Devon

18-22 October

Taking place at the Livermead Cliff Hotel on the waterfront, with stunning views across Torbay, this festival celebrates all things poetic, with readings, workshops and events, bringing together critically acclaimed poets from across the country. The festival’s aim of concentrating a packed schedule of events, mainly in one comfortable venue, has established an inspiring literary weekend by the sea, with the added advantage of the beautiful English Riviera as a backdrop. Torbay is famous for sunshine, and it also has a reputation for poetry. www.torbaypoetryfestival.co.uk
