The Poetry Takeaway

Lakeside Village

We brought the Poetry Takeaway Van to Lakeside Village. Right Up Our Street joined forces with The Poetry Takeaway for a very special pop-up at Lakeside Village.

Visitors shared their stories, our Poet Chefs got to work, and personalised poems were written, performed and handed over.

We loved being at Donny’s Lakeside Village on such a sunny day. This year (2026), Lakeside is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and we were proud to be part of the festivities.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared a story, and took home a poem.
