Ledbury Poetry Festival Online! Ledbury Poetry Festival will happen online this year, on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July, with a special The Verb preview, on Friday 3 July, on BBC Radio 3 hosted by Ian McMillan.

All the events are FREE. Ledbury Poetry Festival is pleased to offer all events free of charge in the spirit of fellowship with poets, poetry and the poetry community in these challenging times, so that income is no barrier to joining these vital happenings.
