Bristol Poetry Festival

The Bristol Poetry Festival is organised by Poetry Can which was established in March 1995 as a registered charity aiming to encourage as many people as possible within the Bristol and Bath areas to get involved in poetry activity.

Poetry Can is still based in Bristol but now supports the development of poetry in South Gloucestershire and through its websites across the whole of the South West region.
The aims of Poetry Can are:

• To increase opportunities for everyone to participate in and enjoy poetry, through a strategic programme of events and projects.
• To initiate work in which poetry's role in lifelong learning is explored and extended.
• To support the creative and professional development of poets of all ages and levels of experience.
• To promote its activities on a national level.

Poetry Can believes that being involved in poetry can benefit everyone, and that it has a valuable role in social, cultural and personal development.
