Festival Supporters
I’m absolutely delighted to be the patron of the Launceston Poetry Festival, a new event coming to the town, where the great Cornish poet, Charles Causley lived and worked. I‘m excited to see such a wonderful programme which features outstanding poets from across the globe, community events and collaborations. Welcome to the inaugural Launceston Poetry Festival!
The Launceston Poetry Festival 2025, organised by the Charles Causley Trust, is supported by the Cornwall Community Foundation, Sedel-Collings Foundation, Carew Pole Charitable Trust, FEAST, Launceston Rotary, WBW solicitors, and private donors. In partnership with Guillemot Press, Clemo Books, The Poetry Pharmacy, English Heritage, Comical Entertainment and the Universities of Falmouth, Glasgow, and Plymouth.
