Ways you can support us:

Winchester Poetry Festival is a registered charity (Number 1150997) run by volunteer trustees. We aim to bring the best in contemporary poetry to Winchester. We make a point of paying all our invited poets and contributors professional rates and giving their work the best possible showcase. To achieve this we need to secure a broad base of income from ticket sales, donations, sponsorship and grants from private trusts and public sector bodies. There are a number of ways in which you can support the festival:

The festival is an independent charitable trust and, although it has the support of Arts Council, local business, trusts and foundations, it needs the support of Friends to ensure its continuity. Read more about joining Friends of Winchester Poetry Festival here.
