A poetry walk through Bristol city centre led by the IsamBards, Pameli Benham, Dominic Fisher, Deborah Harvey and David C Johnson, who will share their original poems inspired by the places and people on this poetic promenade from Electricity House (Colston Avenue BS1 4TB) to Queen Square. We’ll meet Kings and Queens and Inuit captives, Neptune and Gary Cooper, picnickers and rioters, as well as encountering voices from Bristol's darker past and involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. The walk will take just over an hour, entirely on level ground.

The IsamBards, who celebrate their tenth birthday this year, are Pameli Benham, Dominic Fisher, Deborah Harvey and David C Johnson. They write and share original poems inspired by people and places and unite the pleasures of walking and poetry. Their previous walks have included Brunel’s Bristol, the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Arnos Vale Cemetery, Poets’ Park and Bristol Botanic Garden, where they were socially distanced pop-up poets and, in normal times, lead regular poetry walks.

Part of Lyra - Bristol Poetry Festival 2023.
