2)     Readings from some of the North West’s finest poets
Focusing on the themes of racism, race equality and diversity, a range of poets will take to the stage. Poets confirmed so far include:

Akiel Chinelo; Simon Murray; Mark Mace-Smith; Chris Jam; Jerry Potter; Lauren Strippling; Laura Sinclair; Nadeem Zafar; and many more TBC!
