Each Hopmarket Arts event attempts to join the different silos of arts and culture together, this month we are bringing arts and poetry together in the promoting of Worcestershire LitFest in June. Our aim is to provide a platform for local artists and allowing them to showcase their work and skills. 

The event is supported by Worcester City Council and The Hopmarket Charity.
