Experience the joy of words at the Poetry Takeaway, a unique live event where a talented poet becomes your personal wordsmith. Step up to the counter, share a story, a memory, or even just a mood, and watch as your thoughts are transformed into a bespoke poem written just for you – on the spot!

Whether you’re looking for something heartfelt, humorous, reflective, or uplifting, each poem is a one-of-a-kind creation and a special keepsake to take home. Perfect for all ages and completely free, this interactive experience brings poetry to life in the most personal way.
