“Seeing Bristol not only buzzing with an incredible diverse array of literary events for 10 days, but attended by such a varied mix of people and tastes, was inspiring. I hope Lyra has many more chances to grow and expand, as it is becoming a staple part to the city’s artistic calendar”
- Travis Alabanza, poet and performance artist.
“Lyra Festival provides a real opportunity for people to engage with poetry and spoken word. It’s accessible, it’s fun and it really cements Bristol and the West Country as the UK’s home of creativity.”
- Adam Crowther, BBC Upload presenter
