Inter Faith Week Poetry Open-Mic
For us, Inter Faith Week has always celebrated our diversity, commonality and baking skills. We want as many people as possible to come together to share and appreciate poetry, hearing the vibrant voices and stories in our community.
This year we’ve partnered with the Friends of Batley Library to host the session in our spiritual home, Batley Library.
Come along to perform poetry you’ve written, read poems you like, or sit back and enjoy the afternoon with a cuppa and meet some new friends. Everyone’s welcome to attend, regardless of faith, whether it’s your first or fifty-first time. We’ve always said, ‘Everyone’s a Batley Poet’, and we haven’t been proven wrong yet.
Although this is an Inter Faith Week poetry session, you can share poetry on any theme.
If you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to message team@batleypoets.co.uk or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
#ShareAPoemSundayIFW
For Inter Faith Week this year, Batley Poets wants you to share a poem about faith or community. Whether it’s your own poem or a poem you
like, post an image or video of you reading the poem to X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or Instagram. Use the hashtag #ShareAPoemIFW and tag @BatleyPoets too!
#ShareAPoemSunday
Sunday’s are wonderfully lazy days. So we decided to add to that laziness with #ShareAPoemSunday.
The idea is simple. Post a poem on Sunday mentioning @BatleyPoets and #ShareAPoemSunday to add a little poetry to everyone’s timelines.
Bards of Batley Available Online

While we don’t seem to have anything else planned at the moment we hope to think of something soon. If you have any ideas of things we should do, or already be doing, email team@batleypoets.co.uk or Contact Us.
