The Poet Laureate is set to host an evening of readings and a book signing in Malvern.

Simon Armitage will introduce and read a selection of his own poems, as well as Robert Frost's 'Iris by Night'.

This poem depicts the spiritual experience that Edward Thomas and Frost had while walking on the Malvern Hills.

The event will take place on October 10 at 8pm at the Malvern Theatres.

Speaking on Armitage's performance, The Independent on Sunday's review read: "His verse is immediate, entertaining, engaged with the world."
