Demonstration of the Quantock Poetry Trail

Join the Quantock Poets as they demonstrate the Watchet Poemscape – poetry geolocated around Watchet – and read their poems live. 

The Quantock Poets is a group of 12 poets and writers, all of whom either live in or around the Quantocks, or who have an intimate connection to the Quantocks and surrounding areas. We have since July 2022 been wandering as lonely as a cloud, um, actually as together as a group of humans, o’er hill and dale, composing poetry to place, to the specific locations in and around the Quantocks which call to us as poets and writers.

The resulting works have been digitally embedded into the actual Quantock landscape, discoverable through your smartphone as audio. All will be explained! For more info: https://quantockpoetrytrail.uk/ 

Please note this event is outside in February; please dress appropriately. In the event of bad weather the event will take place in the Festival Bookshop.

The walk is mostly flat going from the Esplanade to the East Quay and the West Quay to the Lighthouse.
