POETRY WHITCHURCH

The Detail

​

Where is it held?

Percy's Cafe Bar in the bullring in Whitchurch.  Starting at 7:30pm.

​

How much does it cost?

The event is free, but we do encourage all attendees to buy drinks from Percy's.  They are very kind and provide the venue, staff time and fabulous equipment free of charge.  So please do buy a drink or two. 

​​

Can I just come and watch?

Yes! There is absolutely no pressure to read.  You can come along and enjoy the poems.   

​​

What happens on the night? ​

Our open mic nights are usually held in two halves. ​ We open with a guest poet (an experienced published poet) reading from their work.  After this the MC will invite other poets to read a number of their poems. There is an interval after about an hour then the cycle repeats.

​​

Can I read my poems?​

Yes!  The MC or another member of the open mic team will take names at the start of the night to ensure everyone that wants to read can do so. Please ensure content is suitable. We encourage new work to ensure a fresh atmosphere.

​

Do I need to book?​

Not at present but we will keep this under review.

​

I'd like to read my work but Im a bit shy.  Can I have a word with anyone to talk about it?

Yes of course!  Email us at Poetrywhitchurch@hotmail.com and we can have a chat.
