🌟 Could You Be the Next Bard of Bath? 🌟
The time has come for me to handover to a new Bard of Bath. So, if you have a passion for the Bardic Arts and want to share your voice throughout our wonderful city, we’d love to hear from you!
Join us on Sunday, January 25, 2026, from 12:30-2 PM at The Living Room upstairs The Grapes Bath for an exciting competition! This year’s theme is “Elders,” and we welcome everyone—especially first-time performers—to step into the spotlight and show us what you’ve got! 🎤✨
All you have to do is perform an original piece of poetry or song (between 1 and 5 minutes) that reflects this year’s theme and to submit a short manifesto (max 200 words) detailing how you plan to promote the Bardic Arts in Bath over the next 12 months.
Don’t worry if this is your first time performing—we’re a friendly and supportive community that celebrates creativity and expression!
The winner will find out on the day and receive the prestigious Bardic Cloak and a beautifully restored Bardic Chair!
