Jo Bell

Jo Bell is a well-loved poet who has appeared everywhere from Glastonbury to Buckingham Palace, by way of running the UK’s National Poetry Day and winning major poetry prizes. She runs award-winning poetry communities, she writes best-selling books including 52 and How to Be a Poet. Catch her on a rare Bristol visit, before she hits the road with her memoir Boater, out in June with HarperNorth.

Carlo Sebastian Hornilla

Carlo Sebastian Hornilla (They/Them) is a Bristol-based Filipino queer artist, illustrator, workshop facilitator, creative consultant, spoken word poet, organised chaos, lover or lists, ticker of boxes and awkward human being.

They use fun, play and conversation as a platform to explore introspective feelings, interpersonal connection and the complexities that exist within them.

They will say a bunch of words and you might listen to them. Maybe you will laugh, you might cry (only if you want to). Maybe it doesn’t matter… Either way, they hope you have a perfectly average and tolerable time.

Entry requirements:   Anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult 21+ years old.
