Lemn Sissay OBE

Spend an evening with a master of the spoken word, BAFTA nominated author, activist, performer and Sunday Times number one bestseller, Lemn Sissay OBE, as he takes to the stage.

Every morning for 10 years Lemn has written four lines and shared them on his social media with no explanation and no title. After catching the public’s attention, they have been transformed into murals, quoted in books, made into songs and even tattoos. He chose the best of them for Let the Light Pour In which became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller – and now a live show. Life-affirming and full of wonder – a first aid kit for the heart.

With live readings from his books and best-loved poems, Lemn will unravel some of the original stories behind his work, and how his poetry has been used in people’s lives and his own. Expect the unexpected. A night bursting with light to stave off the dark. 

The audience will have the chance to ask Lemn questions, and this thought-provoking and entertaining show on the power of creativity can’t be missed. An evening full of truth, humour and hope, Lemn will allow us into his morning poetry practice and show us all how he lets the light pour in.

Lemn will be signing books after the show and copies will be available to purchase.
