Come and share poetry and writing with us, whether your own, or of a poet that inspires you, or just enjoy hearing others. Read in whatever language you feel most comfortable to use. For beginners starting out, writers trying to work through new ideas or experienced performers and writers sharing their work and inspiring others to try. This is a gentle, encouraging space for people to feel comfortable and gain confidence to write or perform. Also space available for those who may like to take time to write, inspired by a change of scene in a different, supportive, creative environment. £1 Entry on the door.
