Stamford Poet Laureate

Stamford is fortunate enough to have not just one but two Poet Laureates! Working alongside Stamford Town Hall and Stamford Arts Centre, the current Poet Laureate is Scott Coe and the Stamford Youth Laureate is Daniel Paice. If you would like to commission a poem, please email karen.burrows@southkestevn.gov.uk. The annual competition to find a new Poet Laureate takes place this year on April 26th.
