What a wonderful festival we had this year - and with 13 events sold out, we're delighted that so many of you came along! Here are a few more highlights - with thanks to Melvyn Marriott for the photos.
The events just got better as the @stage4beverley.bsky.social festival came to a close. Ben Beattie blew up a storm, the workshop poets gave their all, Beverley Town Handbell Ringers eased us into Sunday, and Gary Stewart's Graceland provided a pumped up finale. I need a lie down!
Thanks @plsoc.bsky.social and to all that came to the show and contributed with the knitting needles! We had fun. @stage4beverley.bsky.social has delivered a fantastic festival and it was a joy to be involved. Here's to 2027...
Thank you to @chriswriting.bsky.social and @stage4beverley.bsky.social for a great event that celebrated the work of Philip Larkin and the Philip Larkin Society, and the role that poetry in general plays in telling stories about our lives.
It’s a wonderful festival. We had a couple of fantastic evenings here this last week - can’t wait for next year! Big thanks to all involved - keep up the great work Stage4Beverley ♥️
