Wise Words Festival | 27th April - 7th May 2017
Wise Words aims to inspire wonder and reawaken curiosity through offering audiences intimate and often unexpected encounters with poetry and storytelling. The heart of the festival lies in Canterbury’s Secret Garden, belonging to the Franciscan Friars – an unexpected haven just a stones throw from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
Thought provoking talks, music, performances, storytelling and poetry take place in beautiful yurts, tents, tipis and in the ancient Franciscan Chapel. From here activity spills out across the city – onto the streets, in gardens, in coffeehouses and even on punts the river.
