Bardic Projects

Throughout the Corona Virus Pandemic the Bardic Council and the Bard have continued their work even though all the usual events were cancelled. Below are a few details about past and current community projects we have run.

Reasons To Be Cheerful, Part 4

5 posters are hidden around Stony Stratford for people to find between 27th March and 25th April. Once the poems are found people can enter the competition here with the name of the Bard and place it was spotted to win the chance to commission a poem by the current Bard.

Bardic Bash

Instead of the usual Bardic Trials instead we held a virtual Bardic Bash to raise money for the Bardic Council and MK Food Bank to whom we gave the lion's share of £400. Watch the event here

Stony Stratford Needs You

This poem was shared on the town's notice boards to remind people that even though we are apart we are still a community.

It was a collaboration between the current and previous bards writing a couple of lines each to create one poem.

Welcome Back

Once the first Lockdown ended this poem displayed on the Stony Stratford Town notice boards welcomed everyone back to the great outdoors.

This poem is made up of lines contributed by the current and previous bards to celebrate the end of the first lockdown.... little did we know there would more.

Lockdown Poems

Most of the previous Bards and the 2019-20 Youth Bard came together to produce video poems to respond to the first lockdown, you can see the collection here.
