Bradford’s Beehive Poets will be giving a special reading at Bradford literature festival on Tuesday 24 May from 8-9pm at Waterstones. This year they are approaching the theme of death and dying from a positive, celebratory angle that will make this an evening about life and the joy of existence. Beehive Poets have met on a Monday night at the New Beehive Inn, Westgate, Bradford since 1999. The group offers a programme of readings, read-arounds and critical but constructive workshops of members’ poetry, as well as publishing pamphlets and anthologies of their work. More details
