Events - Festival 2021

StAnza's online festival cafe will be open on Zoom most days throughout the festival as a place to catch up with old friends online, and to make new ones. No need to book a place, just drop in during the festival cafe opening hours. We'll do our best to channel the usual vibrant and friendly atmosphere of the Byre cafe, as well as Zest and other favourite cafes, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants around town. We hope very much that some of this year's poets will come along to some of the festival cafe sessions, so why don't you come too, whether it's for a morning coffee, or to share your thoughts after some of the Poetry Centre Stage readings.

The Zoom link and password for each Festival Cafe session will be available on this page 15 minutes before the cafe opens it doors.
