One day only for Cley Little Festival of Poetry
All forms of poetry will be celebrated at the Cley Little Festival of Poetry later this month.
The one-day event will take place on Saturday May 25 at Salthouse Church and British Columbia Hall, next to the church.
Most of the attractions during the day will be free apart from the Closely Shared poetry masterclass at 2pm and the reading by the invited poets between 7-9pm.
Tickets for the Closely Shared masterclass and the reading cost £5 and £7 respectively. Tickets for both events cost £10.
The guest poet this year is Michael Laskey, who has invited two lesser known poets - Dean Parkin and Rob Etty.
