Voice and Verse Tour: Beyond Poets’ Corner
Join this journey to bring Poets’ Corner to life as we explore the Abbey through the stories and words of our most famous poets.
Poetry is woven into every corner of the Abbey. On this tour, we will ‘free’ the poets from their corner and explore their words and works throughout the entire Abbey.
Come along to discover how their voices resonate through a variety of different moods, monuments and memorials.
