TOAST Live

TOAST is about really good poetry. An evening of spoken word and live performance, TOAST is Norfolk’s biggest regular poetry night. We’re an artist-led organisation who find the best poets working right now and bring them to Norwich. At TOAST you will laugh, cry and find something you like (even if you don’t think you like poetry). Funny, emotional and entertaining, this is a great night out for everyone.

In March 2023, we have two incredible headliners in Caroline Bird and Helen Bowell. Caroline published her first book with Carcanet when she was 15 and has continued making surreal, gorgeous work and in 2020 won The Forward Prize for her 6th collection, 'The Air Year'. We've always loved Caroline and her performances are magical, funny and engaging. Helen Bowell just published her first book, 'The Barman', which is an amazing piece of art. It's funny, weird, and deeply relatable for anyone who's been in a relationship. They will be supported by three of the best emerging and new poets in Norwich. TOAST is produced by Daisy Henwood and hosted by the award winning poet, Lewis Buxton.
