Voluntary Poetry Society stanza, a poetry writing group open to members and non-members of all abilities.
Salisbury Stanza Poetry Group is running at Salisbury Arts Centre from Friday 15 January to Friday 19 March 2027. It's a poetry writing group for all abilities, so you don't need to be a seasoned poet to get involved — it's as much for people just starting out as it is for those who've been writing for years.
The group is part of the Stanzas network, which is run by volunteers from The Poetry Society. Stanzas can take a few different forms: some meet to give feedback on poems in progress, others work as poetry reading groups, and some run impromptu open mic sessions. The main aim across all of them is to make poetry accessible to everyone, rather than keeping it as something only for the experts.
Joining a Stanza also plugs you into a national network of poetry lovers run by The Poetry Society, which gives you access to their news, opportunities, competitions and events. So, while the group itself meets locally in Salisbury, it's connected to a much wider community of poets across the country.

It's a regular thing rather than a one-off, running from Friday 15 January through to Friday 19 March 2027 at Salisbury Arts Centre, and it's open to both Poetry Society members and non-members alike. If you've been wanting to get into poetry but weren't sure where to start, this is a good way in.
