In association with Southport Festival, we are proud to host one of our famous writing workshops, in the Theatre Bar in the Atkinson on Lord Street.

Open to anyone of any age, ability level or general disposition towards writing, all you need is yourself and a willingness to have your imagination sparked in a series of activities designed to coax words even from the most novice writer. This year will include new prompts such as Dictionary Corner, Amazing Tales! and Roll Up Poem, as well as old favourites like Reverse Story and Consequences. You can drop in an out as you please, but you are guaranteed to come away buzzing with your next scribbling idea!

As above, our PayPal is working again, so get those online entries in! Because of the delay in getting it sorted, we have decided to let digital entries have a late entry up to the 7th May.

We look forwards to your poems. Happy writing!

We are aware of the current issue with our PayPal account and payments. We are trying to sort it out as quickly as possible, however in the meantime if you wish to pay for the Poetry 2019 contest, or send us a donation, you are welcome to send a cheque to the address on the comp page.

Thank you for your patience!
