TOAST is poetry, but not as you know it. Norfolk’s biggest poetry night returns to the Festival Speak Easy for three days of poetry, spoken word, storytelling and performance from some of the UK’s best poets and performers… redefining what poetry is and can be.


Jo Bell is a multi award-winning poet who has performed in venues from Glastonbury Festival to the House of Commons, and formerly ran National Poetry Day. She builds wide-access online communities including The Poetic Licence. Jo lives on a narrow boat in the north of England and her memoir BOATER will be published by HarperNorth in summer 2025.

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.
