The Bardic Basement was set up by Ben Hornett in July 2018, in order to fill a gap in Northamptonshire’s spoken word scene (there were previously no regular Wellingborough-based events) as well as giving local artists a platform to promote and discuss their work and upcoming events.
To date, events have been organised for the UFO’s (Umbrella Fair Organisation) Tea on the Lawn event in August 2018 as well as monthly events with Wellingborough library since August 2018 to May 2019, with plans for further events in the future.
A monthly podcast was set up in January 2021, with plans to continue it alongside future events organised by the Bardic Basement.
