The Bard’s Switch-On Poetry Showcase

The Bard of Stony Stratford presents a showcase of spoken word entertainment in Stony Stratford Library from 1.00 – 4.00pm during the town’s Christmas Lights Switch On celebrations on Saturday 30th November. Poets from across the region will perform throughout the afternoon, with open slots available for you to share a poem too. With live music from The Screaming House Madrigals, this will be a feast of lyrical delight to suit all tastes.
This event is generously sponsored by local business Events & PR Ltd of Stony Stratford, whose support will provide a range of refreshments – snacks, hot and cold drinks and mulled wine will be available during the event, in return for a small donation. Entry is free, and all contributions for refreshments will be donated to the Friends of Stony Stratford Library, who are kindly enabling the library to stay open for the afternoon. So take a seat, take the weight of your feet, grab a treat and a glass of something sweet while you take in the entertainment. Please, at least come and drink the wine, otherwise it will be left to a collection of poets to deal with, and there only chaos reigns…

This event will also enable Stony Stratford Business Association to allocate further funding towards its campaign to turn the Christmas Lights green – replacing the bulbs with energy saving LEDs, which will benefit the environment and the local economy. So what’s not to like? Free music and poetry, food and drink, and all in support of the Library and the Christmas Lights. Join us!

Damian Cummins, of Events & PR Ltd, says “As a relatively new business in Stony Stratford we are very excited to support this excellent initiative.” That’s what happens when a Bard asks you for money to spend on booze!
