About the event
Surrey’s Biggest Night of Poetry
Join us for an unforgettable evening of poetry, celebration, and community as we bring the curtain down on another remarkable year of the Surrey Poet Laureateship.
This is Surrey’s biggest poetry event of the year! A dazzling night where we honour the poets, projects, and partnerships that have defined 2025. From grassroots creativity to powerhouse performances, this is where it all comes together.
Expect an exciting and diverse lineup of featured poets, heartfelt performances, reflections on the year’s achievements, and appearances from VIP guests, dignitaries, and our wider poetry family.
💚 This is also our annual fundraiser. Proceeds from ticket sales will directly impact what we’re able to achieve in 2027—from new community hubs and workshops to even more opportunities for poets across the county.
By attending, you’re not just enjoying a night of brilliant poetry; you’re helping shape the future of poetry in Surrey.
