I'm organising (update: now along with Keith Jebb) the poetry arm of an arts festival in Luton in conjunction with University of Bedfordshire. The following performers have been confirmed:

There is a contact box, and phone number, for ticket enquiries on the website,
here.
The railway station, where you'll most likely be arriving, is
here (Google Maps). After the ticket barriers, exit to the left, through the overpass; then, after the stairs, go right and -- easiest -- across the road and straight through the doors of the mall, The Arndale. The high street is on the other side of this.
