Partners include: the University of Bolton, the Octagon Theatre, Bolton Council, Bolton Libraries, Bolton College and the Bolton International Writers Project.

An annual festival is organised when international, award winning writers and performers are brought together to showcase their amazing talents in local venues with the support of fantastic poets, musicians and writers from Bolton and further afield. .

A poetry anthology is compiled before the festival and is launched as part of it. Local writers are encouraged to send in contributions based on a specified theme and those selected appear in it alongside internationally recognised writers.

Other events are held throughout the year to build towards the festival.
