Push the Boat Out 2025 is here! This year’s festival sets sail from 20-23 November with a bold mix of poetry, performance, music and art in a sparkling celebration of words in all their forms. With over 120 artists on board you can expect a packed weekend full of fresh voices, and stories and experiences that surprise, challenge and delight, all while capturing the messy, marvellous complexity of the world we share.
Huge thanks to Iona Lee and Janette Ayachi who helped us to launch our programme as part of this year’s National Poetry Day celebrations.
