24-hour Folkathon 2026

Poetry at the Folkathon

with Nick Sainsbury

From 02:00-03:00 on Saturday morning, Nick Sainsbury will be leading an hour of poetry, stories, songs and more. A microphone will be provided.

Feel free to bring your own material, original or not! Nick's original poetry, and others' contributions, will be available to read in the Main Hall on the Saturday; if you can't attend at 02:00, please do print your contribution (or email it to us at 24hour.folkathon@gmail.com)  for it to be put on display, original or otherwise. There may even be some blank templates in case inspiration strikes during the Folkathon itself!

 Below are some examples of Nick's work, and others' choices of poetry.
