TOAST presents

Harry Baker

This is a past event which has now ended.

Some of the UK’s best poets and performers will be coming to the Norfolk & Norwich Festival Speak Easy. TOAST is poetry, but not as you know it. Norfolk’s biggest poetry night, hosted by Lewis Buxton, is taking over a festival stage for three days of poetry, spoken word, story telling and performance. Funny, emotional and entertaining, TOAST redefines what poetry is and can be.

His latest collection ‘Unashamed’ was published with Burning Eye in 2022 and he has been sharing poems from it at every available opportunity ever since.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
