Start the day with something special. Our Opening Ceremony marks the official arrival of the Surrey Poet Laureateship at the historic Egham Literary Institute — and we want you there for this milestone moment.

Hear from special guests including a representative of Egham Literary Institute, Surrey Poet Laureate Adam Gary, and (pending confirmation) the Mayor of Egham. Together, we'll reflect on the journey so far, the significance of this new creative space, and what lies ahead for poetry in Surrey.

Expect warmth, inspiration, and a room full of people who believe in the power of words to bring people together.
