Poetry Hubs are welcoming and inclusive spaces designed to foster a love for poetry across Surrey. These community-driven gatherings invite poets of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned writers, to come together, share their work, and explore the beauty of language and expression.

Our Poetry Hubs are social mornings centred around poetry, where socialising is just as important as the writing itself. Each session provides a warm and supportive environment that encourages participants to connect with one another, share ideas, and enjoy the creative process together. You don’t need any prior knowledge of poetry, just an openness to explore and experience something new!

You can expect a variety of activities, including workshops, discussions, and open mic opportunities, allowing participants to read their own poetry or simply enjoy the works of others. Whether you're looking to refine your writing skills, find inspiration, or make new friends who share your passion for poetry, our hubs offer the perfect setting.

Join us in partnership with Surrey Poet Laureateship in celebrating the power of words, building community, and inspiring creativity, one poem at a time!
