Dobunni Poetry Festival, Stroud, 15th-17th October

Stroud is a town rich in creativity, but it does not have a dedicated poetry festival of its own. In a place known for its independent spirit, its artistic communities across disciplines, and its deep connection to landscape and radical thought, this absence is striking.

The Dobunni Poetry Festival 2026 aims to change that, establishing Stroud’s first dedicated poetry festival and creating a cultural home for writers, readers, and audiences of all ages.
