Roger McGough and Carol Ann Duffy are among the stars of the spoken word appearing at the Morecambe Poetry Festival later this year.
Following a highly successful debut last year, the event this year, over the weekend of September 22-24, will take place at the Winter Gardens and Johnny’s Warehouse Bar.
A plethora of the finest poets from across the land are set to grace the line up once more, with big names including Roger McGough and Carol Ann Duffy confirmed to appear, alongside Jackie Kay, Henry Normal and Brian Bilston.
Roger McGough is dubbed 'the Patrpn Saint of Poetry', and came to prominence in the 1960s, after the publication of The Mersey Sound in 1967, which went on to become one of the bestselling poetry anthologies of all time.
Dame Carol Ann Duffy is an award-winning Scottish poet, and became the first woman ever to be appointed Poet Laureate in May 2009, a post she held for a decade.
Tickets for the festival can be purchased via Skiddle.
Dubbed 'the Glastonbury of poetry', last year’s headliners included 'godfathers of the spoken word' Dr John Cooper Clarke and Linton Kwesi Johnson, as well as Lemn Sissay, TS Eliot Prize winning Joelle Taylor, John Hegley, Atilla the Stockbroker and Kate Fox, performing to packed audiences.
