Annual wreath-laying at Westminster Abbey

Fellow Keatsians,

As you all know, it’s John Keats’s birthday on 31st October. Every year we hold a small service to celebrate his life, in Poets’ Corner, Westminster Abbey. Representatives of the Keats Foundation, The Poetry Society and Keats House, and their guests meet in Poets’ Corner, read a selection of Keats’s poems and lay flowers at his memorial.

This year, our event will be held on Thursday 29 October at 11.45. The service will last around 15 minutes, and those interested in attending can contact our Trustee, Judith Palmer, at info @ poetrysociety.org.uk [please remove spaces].

Numbers are strictly limited, and admission to the Abbey is free to those taking part. We hope to see you at Westminster Abbey in October!
