We were delighted that our Summer Poetry In The Garden event which coincides with Medway Open Studios was a huge success, raising £300 via a raffle and tickets. This will contribute directly to the festival, allowing us to programme one extra event.

Poets Michi, Indi, Sam and Barry donated their time, and Heather and Alan at the Hazelnut Press in Rochester donated the space, to kickstart our fundraising for this year's Medway River Lit.

Thanks to everyone who bought a ticket to the show, or bought raffle tickets on the night!

If you didn't get a chance, make sure to check out the Hazelnut Press show as part of MOS, as there's some beautiful work on show, the festival runs till 19 July!

If you weren't around, but would like to donate to our fundraising effort, then click the Donate button on the homepage. If you would like to sponsor the festival or an event as part of the festival, see our fundraiser info.
