Participants compete in various humorous and creative challenges, similar to the format of the TV show “Taskmaster.”

The aim is to have fun, encourage creativity, and delight our fearsome TaskMistress Debbie Challis. The TaskMistress will be aided in her quest for the best team by her Assistant, Esther Lisk-Carew.

Each team will put forward participants to do live book related tasks, themed around Manchester Poetry Library’s collection.
