About this event

  • 3 hours

Considering the spending cuts in Nottingham and other local authorities in the Midlands, we say it’s time to defend the arts, music, and poetry in our cities.

We are opposed to all cuts in services in our cities, the vulnerable, poorest, and most diverse communities are the ones who suffer the most, but we also need to defend the arts sector.

Our cities should be well funded to look after the needs of everyone, we need basic services and music, dance, art, and poetry.

Poets Against Racism and AccessAbility Arts are combining their poets to give you a night not to forget, brilliant poets from across the Midlands, flying the flag for accessible art, poetry, and culture, as the song goes, Give us Bread and Roses

There will also be an open mic section to sign up to on the night.

So, come along, experience the power of poetry, and join the resistance!
