This ride interweaves place and poetry. Navigate around the city’s iconic landmarks and roads as they’re brought to life by live spoken word.
Led by Leicester’s first ever Poet Laureate, Mr Shay will recite poetry pieces at each stop. Shay’s poetry champions Leicester and speaks about his up-bringing, culture and sense of belonging as a British Asian growing up in this vibrant city.
We especially welcome newbies!
