Simon Armitage reads at St Petroc's, Bodmin

🗓Thu 15 Oct 2026 · 7:30 PM

The UK's Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, comes to Bodmin for an evening of poetry in the historic surroundings of St Petroc's Parish Church. St Petroc's is one of the oldest parish churches in Cornwall, and its stone interior makes for a quietly atmospheric venue — the kind of setting that suits a reading rather than a concert hall ever could. An evening for anyone who enjoys hearing poetry read by the person who wrote it, whether you follow Armitage's work closely or are simply curious. Doors at 7:30 pm.
