Voice and Verse evening: Portals of Discovery
Poets’ Corner will provide an exceptional backdrop for an evening of poetry read by some of London’s most exciting voices.
Prepare for an unforgettable evening of poetry at 'Portals of Discovery', curated by Jade de Robles Rossdale and held in the iconic Poets' Corner.
The event will feature readings by talented poets and writers from London, who will share their own work as well as selections from the poets commemorated at the Abbey. The lineup includes Daisy Lowe (writer and supermodel), James Massiah (poet and musican), Greta Bellamacina (poet and actor), Cecilia Knapp (novelist and poet), Zakariye (poet) and Jade de Robles Rossdale (curator and writer).
After the readings there will be an opportunity for people to explore Poets’ Corner with a drink from the paid bar.
All proceeds on the night will be donated to the Poetry Society's Young Poets Network.
