Stanza Poetry Festival

StAnza is a poetry festival that takes place annually in March in the university town of St Andrews, Scotland. The Times newspaper referred to StAnza as "the country's leading poetry festival" in 2024.

Described by The Guardian as a "flaming good poetry festival", StAnza has run every year since its inception in 1998, barring 2020 when it was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, StAnza ran as an online-only festival due to ongoing COVID restrictions, and now continues to offer both in-person and online events as part of an ongoing hybrid programme.

The festival uses as a hub the Byre Theatre in St Andrews, and regularly programmes events in other venues around the town.
