The National Poetry Centre of the United Kingdom is a charity, registered in 2022, which plans to open a centre in Leeds, West Yorkshire, in 2027.
Its trustees include Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, who has said "My highest ambition when appointed Poet Laureate was to create a national home for poetry in my native West Yorkshire."[1]
In March 2024, it was announced that the Department for Levelling Up would make a grant of £5 million to the centre.[1][2]
