Leeds Poetry Festival 2025
Get Involved
Hello! We have lots of different opportunities for poets and poetry enthusiasts open for Leeds Poetry Festival 2025 and I’m so excited to be able to share them with you.
Applications are now open for Leeds Poetry Festival 2025! If you’re not sure where to go, here’s a little guidance. You are more than welcome to fill in different applications but please don’t submit the same application more than once, and make sure that each event you pitch is a different event and not the same in different formats. For example, if you want a workshop to accompany your event, please only fill out one Events & Workshops application.
If you are an individual that is open to performing for 15 minutes or longer, please complete an Individual Performers application.
If you are applying as a group, two or more poets, with a common thread or theme, please complete the Groups application.
If you want to organise an event, activity, or run a workshop, please complete the Events & Workshops application.
If you would like to be considered for hosting an event, panel, or interview one of the poets, please complete the Hosts application.
And, finally, if you would love to come on board as a volunteer, help out with events, ticket sales, work on the door, and help coordinate at our venues, please complete the Volunteers application.
