The Beacon – Lister Park
Poetry Takeaway
The Poetry Takeaway serves high quality, personalised poetry to diners, written, performed and wrapped up to takeaway.
A diverse group of talented Poet Chefs provided high quality personalised poetry for guests and visitors, written performed and delivered free, all from our mobile Poetry Emporium, The Poetry Takeaway.
With the aim of making Poetry accessible, their front of house quickly broke down barriers, before a discussion took place with one of their Poets.
The process started with an initial discussion, taking the order, gathering ingredients, aiming to complete the poem quickly, it is carefully crafted, written and performed, wrapped up and sent on its journey.
Audiences were guaranteed everything from tears, laughter and everything in between.
