Voices Off - Live literature at a the Brewery
Voices off is about literature that’s alive – fun, exciting, different, quirky, eccentric, inspiring. Sometimes the Festival fringe, other times more mainstream – voices off is truly indefinable!

Check out the prize poets, stunning storytellers, adventurous authors and thrilling thespians appearing in a variety of venues and make up your own mind!
Word On The Street
A fantastic free-for-all around the town on each Saturday of the Festival! Roving minstrels, transcontinental troubadours, wacky wordsters, street theatre, dancers, circus artistes, musicians, stiltwalkers – words are on the move so get into the groove!
Free Speech
It’s loud, it’s exciting and it’s all happening over at the voices off Stage! A plethora of poets and performers entertain the crowds and YOU on the hour from 11am – 5pm. Make sure you clock them!
