About National Poetry Centre

The National Poetry Centre is a national home for poetry, performance, learning and literacy, instigated by the Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage. Based in Leeds and reaching out to the world, the centre offers an opportunity for people to engage with the past, present and future of poetry. The National Poetry Centre is transforming the historic Trinity St David's building into a welcoming and accessible shared place for the people of Leeds and visitors from around the world. In an increasingly virtual world, the centre will bring people together – to meet, perform, write, research, spend time or just pass through. It will drive an ambitious programme of engagement for schools and young people; helping them find their voice, giving them the confidence to explore ideas, play with words, speak and perform in public – and supporting literacy and creative skills throughout the UK.
