Pictured - a collection of eccentric Harbour Poets and guest readers on National Poetry Day - October 8th. Harbour poets read from ‘Essential Journey’ and other work, with the occasional nod to the theme of ‘Heros and Heroines’. Two visitors, Doug and Milly, charmed readers with their self-penned verse.

Harbour Poets is based in Weymouth, Dorset, UK. The group was founded in the early 1990’s and has met continuously ever since. It has an open membership and poets meet to read and discuss their own work in a friendly and supportive way. All abilities are welcome – the group has had members ranging from beginners to a Bridport Prize winner. The only membership criteria are a liking of a warm drink and good company…
…and a poet’s soul.
The group meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 2pm in the Mulberry room of Weymouth library. We do not meet in August.
