StAnza, Scotland’s International Poetry Festival, is an award-winning festival dedicated to bringing poetry in all its forms and many languages to audiences around the world. Founded in 1998 by three local poets, the annual festival takes place every March in the beautiful historic town of St Andrews and has gained a truly international reputation as one of the country’s most significant literary events. From readings to exhibitions, creative workshops to open mic events, and beyond, StAnza pushes open the door between tradition and experimentation to bring a medley of different ideas, languages and cultures together. The festival seeks to create a welcoming, open and curious community of audiences and artists, where diversity is welcome in both person and poetry.
