EA Festival 2025: Pub Grub - Luke Wright (spoken word)

The father of nature writing in modern Britain, Richard Mabey, will describe the zig zags and through-lines of a writing career that has yielded a stupendous oeuvre.

If you’ve never attended a spoken word event, Luke Wright will win you over to the art form with his electrifying performance, his fourth at EA Festival. (It’s worth noting that Luke is the only performer that has appeared at every EA Festival since the event’s inception in 2021.) What with poems that combine acid social commentary with aching moments of poignancy, Wright’s performances are unforgettable experiences that fizz with verve and charisma. At this year’s EA Festival, Luke will perform poems from his new book, Pub Grub.
