National Poetry Days

National Poetry Day is an annual celebration in the UK that takes place on the first Thursday of October. Established in 1994, its purpose is to promote poetry, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Each year has a specific theme that inspires readings, performances, and events across the country. Schools, libraries, and communities participate by hosting activities that encourage people to appreciate and create poetry. This initiative not only highlights the importance of poetry in culture but also fosters a sense of creativity and connection among individuals through the written and spoken word.
