Win tickets to Ledbury Poetry Festival and a 2-night stay!

The biggest poetry festival in the UK

Inspiring, inclusive and international in its programme, everyone is welcome at Ledbury Poetry Festival (30th June – 9th July). The line-up includes live readings and conversations, workshops, music, exhibitions and films, and there is lots on for the whole family, too. On Sunday evening, LYR – a band comprised of author and Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, singer-songwriter Richard Walters and multi-instrumentalist and producer Patrick James Pearson – take to the stage. Formed in 2018, LYR are a firmly established part of the contemporary music scene; it’s an unmissable Festival finale. View the Festival programme. 

We're giving one lucky reader a fun festival experience: five pairs of tickets to Festival events, and two nights' accommodation at Verzon House (Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th July) for two people, including breakfast and bottle of wine. The winner will also get two signed copies of Simon Armitage's Never Good With Horses: Assembled Lyrics.
