Winchester Poetry Festival

Winchester Poetry Festival is a poetry organisation that does all sorts of things - from hosting the much-acclaimed biennial festival in Winchester, to the globally popular Winchester Poetry Prize competition, to wider work with schools and community organisations.
Winchester Poetry Festival is here to share, showcase, celebrate and champion great poetry - because we believe in its power to bring us all together and make a positive, enriching difference to our lives and the society we live in.
We are a hub for poetry locally, nationally and internationally - from Winchester to the world.
