West Street Words Spoken Word Special
Stand Up Poetry Festival Finale
with Ceri Baker, Poppy Jayne Jones, Harula Ladd & Tim King
Sunday 15 December 7.30pm £12 or £10 or £8 Book here
Our host Ceri Baker is joined by three great poetic performers: Poppy Jayne Jones, Harula Ladd and Tim King.
Ceri Baker, Ashburton’s own! is making waves on the poetry and live spoken word scene wherever she goes. The current Bard of Exeter, she’s a performance poet also experimenting with music and sound. Ceri pulls people in on the funny sides of serious life stuff, exploring themes of woman, change, death, grief, mother, neurodiversity, sex, cycles and creativity.
“Ceri Baker is a bold and beautiful poet.” Salena Godden

Harula Ladd A slam-winning, home-made-cargidgan-wearing, nature-loving, narnia-believing, creativity-worshipping, word-smithing deep-diving, heart-touching, tear-inducing Totnes based poet!
Tim King Seasoned poet, performer, event organiser and former Bard of Exeter, Tim is also “a full on boffin under that checked shirt, poetry community connector exterior” (according to Ceri Baker).
