Hello everyone ! We are @cheltpoetfest.bsky.social - a festival that serves up poetry to you in your homes all year, and offers a in-person yearly programme in #Cheltenham to anyone who can visit. We believe in the power of poetry to illuminate lives, especially in times of darkness.

Who are we? Well Cheltenham Poetry Festival is run by poets.
@annasaund.bsky.social leads the in-person Festival and @zoebrooks.bsky.social the on-line.
We have wide and varied taste in poetry and would love to connect with you here..

Back from an amazing weekend at @shiiineon.bsky.social, Minehead. My favourite weekend of the year - likeminded music fans, some of my favourite bands, relaxed atmosphere, and the seaside too… Thanks to the organisers for another excellent event 👏

@vontabard.bsky.social you are 🍺 and 🐕‍🦺 🥰
