Pam Ayres and Mike Harding

Legends of television will be part of the Morecambe Poetry Festival this year.

TV poet Pam Ayres, described by festival organisers as "a national treasure", will also appear at the festival.

Pam shot to fame on the TV talent show 'Opportunity Knocks' in the 1970s and later made numerous appearances on television and radio.

Also appearing will be acclaimed singer/songwriter, poet, comedian and radio presenter Mike Harding, writer and poet Henry Normal, and best-selling author Donna Ashworth, as well as more to be announced.

Actor and writer Nigel Planer, who was originally announced for the festival, has had to postpone his appearance due to other commitments.

The festival will run from September 20 to 22, mainly at Morecambe Winter Gardens.

Tickets are available here.
