Hi there!
In the wake of a wonderful 2026 offering, the Sound team are exploring how we enshrine the values of ethical community opportunities as part of Sound: Plymouth Poetry Festival. As a result we are proposing a Code of Ethics that is followed by us, the founders, any stakeholders and the extended team working within the festival going forward. This will ensure the focus remains on what our community want, how to approach inclusion, the ecological impacts of running a festival and, crucially, where funding goes.
This is where you come in -
We are opening up this code to input and suggestions from our community to ensure your voices are heard in the process.
If you're keen to attend a meeting to further discuss this, optional times have been given below. The hope is that we can collaborate collectively and shape publicly who we will be and what we will represent to the arts scene at large.
With our upmost respect and thanks for all of your contributions at the amazing 2026 offering,
the Sound: Plymouth Poetry Festival team.
