Readers and writers unite at fest

At a castle, tucked away deep in the Drift, a group of like-minded souls came together and created a safe space where they could share their thoughts and feelings without fear of prejudice, discrimination or judgement.

These creatives formed part of the second Readers and Writers Festival, created by Writers Bloc, and held at the Moors Castle.

While weathered poets and artists got the opportunity to share their art, the festival also gave opportunity to new and flourishing writers to showcase their work without fear of reproach.

The day was cool, calm and certainly unforgettable as connections were made through the vulnerability of art.
