The crotchet bikini is expected to be the fashion hit of the summer, but one of the highlights in August is the regular stitching together of verse and rhyme by DIY POETS, unravelling their collections of technicolour patchwork lexicon quilts.

The evening will be sewn up by the music of Mr Ford and Mr Gibbs, but before that, headline poet, the legendary Miggy Angel will be weaving words of well worn wisdom.

Better than sitting at home knitting.
