We want to make sure the festival is as accessible as possible. All our in-person events will be hosted in accessible spaces, and, for people who cannot access live events, we hope you will join us for our online programme.
We are offering 1 x free carer ticket per ticketholder with access needs.
We have confirmed a BSL Interpreter for the following events on Thursday 3rd October:
Birmingham Poet Laureate and Young Poet Laureate
Poems of Strength and Solace
May Day with Jackie Kay
We do not want cost to be a barrier so we have deliberately kept prices low and the same as last year and, in addition, this year we are offering a number of free events.
We also have bursaries available for events and workshops. You can view our bursary policy here and contact info@writingwestmidlands.org if you would like to request a bursary ticket.
We are also partnering with Transport West Midlands to offer all festival attendees the opportunity for free bus travel to festival events. Click here for more information.
