Celebrating Outwith | An Evening of MacDiarmid, Poetry and Film

Saturday, June 20th 2026 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Shetland Museum and Archives

An evening of poetry and film celebrating Hugh MacDiarmid. Come along to hear local poets share some of MacDiarmid's work, alongside their own. The night also features two standout films: Margaret Tait’s beautifully observed portrait and Oscar Marzaroli’s striking take on MacDiarmid and his world. Together, they offer a warm, vivid glimpse of the poet behind the page. A relaxed, creative night of voices, images, and eight o’clocks—whether you know MacDiarmid well or are just curious to discover more.
