Come listen, read, perform. Poetry does not conform.
Come and share your rhymes and your lines with some poetry good times! We have Special Guests and plenty of Open Mic spots, it’s a safe space for newcomers to have a go and a great platform for established poets to share their work. Anyone could be chosen as “Poet of the Month”, – it’s the poet our judges want to see and hear more from, and the winner gets their photo on the website and their own feature slot at the next event. Added to this of course we always welcome a large number of the poetry-curious – people who just want to have an interesting evening out and simply come along to listen.
