Bardfest '25

The annual celebration of creative community and the spoken word is back with an enchanting evening of the finest poetry, storytelling, and song from some of the southwest's top bards.

Taking place in the beer garden of The Crown, Puncknowle, Dorset, overlooking the beautiful Bredy Valley, this promises to be a lovely way to spend a golden summer's evening. Grab a drink, and maybe a bite to eat, and settle down - let the bards entertain you!

Raising funds for Dorset Wildlife Trust.

This year featuring the Jawbone Collective and special guests.

Hosted by Kevan Manwaring with help from Peter Roe.
