Pam Ayres - Doggedly Onward
Sunday 6th July 2025 7:30 PM
Pamoja Hall, The Space, Sevenoaks School

Pam Ayres closes this year’s Summer Festival with her current show DOGGEDLY ONWARD, based on her recent book of the same name. Pam has gathered her career’s work of poetry into this book, which traces the course of her life, and illustrates how her work has provoked laughter, and some tears, to people around the world.
Pam has spent half a century providing hilarious and profound insights into the delights and tribulations of everyday life. DOGGEDLY ONWARD – A LIFE IN POEMS, contains all of Pam’s poems from the 1970s to 2020s
Recent TV appearances include two series of The Cotswolds, for Channel 5, This Morning, Alan Titchmarsh, Countdown, and Would I Lie To You?
“Who doesn’t feel warm, sentimental, and downright good when they think of Pam Ayres? She’s a timeless talent and a glorious people’s poet.”

“If people are fond of me, I am delighted, and I hope I have given a lot of people a laugh, as that is a great experience – to laugh!”
