HAVE A POETRY PARTY WITH A PARTY OF POETS!
TUESDAY 19 AUGUST 2025!
As part of the National Poetry Day shenanigans Hawke’s Bay Readers and Writers Trust have planned an extravaganza of beautiful minds to entertain Napier like the bards of old.
The audience can make themselves cosy at the Cabana, whilst a cabal of poets entertain, confront, inspire and provoke.
The Bay is of course the centre of the creative universe, so local poets are joining with national bards to welcome them into our world. On the list is:
- Ben Fagan (MC)
- Mat Marsh
- Nafanua Purcell Kersel
- Jenny Dobson
- Robert Sullivan
- Tracey Slaughter
- Richard Von Sturmer
This will be a night to be cherished. Sit back, relax in one of the Bay’s warmest, most welcoming environments and let the poets transport you.
A Party of Poets is a ticketed event brought to our community by Hawke’s Bay Readers and Writers Trust. Tickets are a mere $5 on Eventfinda. Door sales (cash and Eftpos) will be available.
