SUMMARY:Utter! Lutonia Presents: Henry Normal
DESCRIPTION:UTTER! Lutonia is thrilled to be welcoming Henry Normal as our December headliner in 2025.  Henry Normal is among the UKs most enduring\, tender\, amusing and enthralling poets and performers and it is a real privilege to have him on our stage.  Expect insight\, humour\, commentary and comfort.  Henry is a great supporter of grass-roots poetry as well as having scaled the heights of tours and television.  Don’t miss this one! \nSupport comes from the marvellous Slate Islands – music that’s as local as it is international\, as mesmeric as it is melodic.

SUMMARY:Utter! Lutonia
DESCRIPTION:The Lyrical\, the Satirical and the Necessary \nLuton’s spoken-word scene owes a lot to the things Paul Rafferty did in the 90s . . . now he’s coming back to share some of the things he’s done since.  Luton’s arts-scene now owes a reasonable amount to Rae Leaver-Rahman and we are delighted to have her on the bill too.  Local musician and artist Gary Abram debuts new material and Mark Billington brings his unique point of view and so does Britny Virginia.  Finally\, a poet Luton forged and formed (and fresh from almost winning the Forward Prize in 2019 with Truth Street) David Cain shares his new collection with the Luton cognoscenti.

SUMMARY:Poetry Together - Poetry Workshops
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret that poetry has a magical power to connect hearts and souls. Gyles Brandreth\, a man of letters and a keen poetry enthusiast\, envisioned this power of togetherness through poetry. He initiated the Poetry Together project\, and now\, it’s taking root across the country with the help of passionate Poetry Champions. \nOne such champion is Debra Knight\, Bedfordshire’s very own Poetry Champion. She’s inviting you to participate in Bedfordshire’s Poetry Together Campaign\, which includes workshops at the scenic Wardown House\, Museum & Gallery\, and the Pilgrim Poetry Walks. \nJoin us on this journey of exploration where poetry meets holistic healing and ancient Kemetic wisdom\, in a sacred space that promotes creativity\, empathy\, and joy. It’s more than just a poetry session; it’s a transformative experience that will leave you inspired\, healed\, and ready to embrace a new perspective. \nWe can’t wait to welcome you to this unique event! Be there to witness the magic of words and sound in a whole new light\, with the enchanting power of poetry to touch your soul on multiple levels.
