Get ready to dive into two days of insightful discussions, engaging sessions, and a chance to connect with fellow enthusiasts. We are building on the success of our last two conferences, so we hope to bring you something very special once more.Our Keynote speakers are Ros Barber (The Marlowe Papers)and Andrew Swarbrick (Out Of Reach: The Poetry of Philip Larkin). Guest speakers also include poet Ralph Dartford (House Anthems), Dr Clarissa Hard (PLS Trustee and editor of About Larkin), Geoff Weston (Writer and former colleague of Larkin at the University of Hull), Dean Wilson ('second best poet in Withernsea'), Chris Sewart (Staged4Beverley Poet in Residence), and PLS President Rosie Millard (arts journalist and presenter). However, the programme is still in its early stages and subject to change,  so please check back for updates.We are now open to Early Bird registration at last year's price of £45. There will be a small increase to £55 when we have confirmed the full programme in January 2026.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/cf01e910-aaca-11f0-99af-3f228e6098de-rimg-w476-h740-dc76655c-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/cf828ac0-aaca-11f0-927e-890fa17a9fc9-rimg-w1200-h649-dc0d0402-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/cffbb260-aaca-11f0-99af-3f228e6098de-rimg-w1200-h137-dcc01522-gmir.png   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/d0866630-aaca-11f0-927e-890fa17a9fc9-rimg-w555-h740-dc2e2f31-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/d1024cf0-aaca-11f0-99af-3f228e6098de-rimg-w510-h740-dcf56428-gmir.jpg Thursday?: 09:00 AM - 07:00 PMThursday 19th MarchInfo: 9:00 – 9:30	Registration
