Poetry lovers turned up for the rhymes at King's Lynn festival

Dozens of poetry lovers gathered in Lynn last week for a festival celebrating literature.

The poetry festival, which was held at the town hall, kicked off last Friday night and lasted the weekend.

There were a total of six different events, with one paying tribute to Anthony Thwaite being attended by around 70 to 80 people.

Over the weekend, the event also hosted a discussion session, poetry readings and a talk about TS Eliot.

The festival’s founder and chairman Anthony Ellis said: “It went extremely well I’m pleased to say. There was excellent input from the writers and everyone very much enjoyed themselves.”
