Hey Poets/Publishers/Friends of the Wee Gaitherin,
Taking place 10th to 12th August 2023, this year’s Wee Gaitherin is a few months away yet, but building on the feedback we received following TWG 2022, we are making a few changes to improve the running of the festival and enhance everyones’ overall experience of hearing and sharing poetry.
In particular, we plan to introduce more breaks for lunch and dinner, so less hour-long reading slots, and generate more space for socialising and enjoying our wonderful locations and delights that Stonehaven has to offer. We also want to avoid doubling up events, and splitting audiences. In addition, we are aiming to fully fund travel and accommodation expenses and where possible provide a reading fee to those allocated a reading slot.
