An Evening with Poet Laureate Simon Armitage Talks

Derby Theatre, 15 Theatre Walk, St Peter’s Quarter, Derby, DE1 2NF

May 27, 2025

From £22.00

Your chance to hear readings from the UK Poet Laureate at a very special evening presented by Derby Book Festival.

Catch Simon Armitage when he introduces a selection of his own poems and answers questions from the audience. His latest book, ‘Blossomise’, was an instant Sunday Times bestseller and celebrates his ear for the music of language.

Not to be missed, Simon Armitage will also read from his brand new poetry collection ‘Dwell’, illustrated by Beth Munro out in May.

This event at Derby Theatre will be followed by book-signing where you will have the opportunity to buy copies of Simon’s various books.
