2011 programme
The Poetry Takeaway
Free made-to-order poetry delivered and performed to the hungry yet discerning consumer within ten minutes or less. Modelled on a typical burger van, it is manned by a rotating cast of the UK’s best performance poets who write, perform and deliver a hand-written, carefully boxed, souvenir copy of every customer’s poem. No experience or knowledge of poetry is required – just a taste for mild adventure. Queue up and chat to one of our specially trained poetry chefs about what you’d like your verse to be about, wait for ten minutes or less, and you’ll receive a personal performance of your very own poem, along with a copy to take home (open or wrapped).
Sunday 23 October from 11am-4pm
