Welcome to Play on Words
A festival for readers, writers and lovers of words
22 October - 3 November 2025
 
Play on Words returns to the New Forest this autumn from the 22 October - 3 November 2025, to celebrate everything to do with the spoken and written word. Join us for poetry & jazz, ghost stories, spoken word, creative walks, a sci-fi fantasy quiz night, comic creating, writer development and much, much more in New Milton, Lymington and across the Forest. Check out the What's On page for the latest, or if you'd like to be in touch, volunteer or find out more, visit our contact page, or sign up for the newsletter below.
