Literature Works programmes and delivers Quay Words on behalf of Exeter Canal and Quay Trust. This live literature programme is supported by a grant from Arts Council England National Lottery Project funding and the ongoing investment of Exeter Canal and Quay Trust. Quay Words showcases literature as a diverse art form and is a core project of Exeter as a UNESCO City of Literature.

Working with a strong coalition of Exeter partners, we have a range of exciting plans for Quay Words, based on what audiences and participants told us during consultations and our pilot phase. Read more about our plans, here.
