Come and listen to some of our talented local poets, hosted by Martin Hobdell
The current Swanage Poetry Group was set up by Martin in 2015. It is a blend of talented poets, reading and performing their own compositions, covering a wide range of topics and incorporating a variety of styles.
Martin is a comedy performance poet originally from Tottenham, who has performed at a number of Purbeck venues. He managed to get the Group incorporated into the PAW Festival in 2016 and now they have appeared 7 times, originally at The Square and Compass, then The Globe and, most recently at the British Legion where the Group now meets on the 2nd Monday of every month.
