Do I need to sign up for the open mic beforehand?

No, not at all - slots are done on the night so there's nothing you need to organise before you come.

What do you do in the poetry workshop?

We start with a ten minute free-writing exercise on the theme to help people relax and get grounded, then we move into several different activities to encourage people to write and reflect. It's very relaxed and there is no pressure to write anything, it's just about taking space to be creative.

Why do you do a poetry workshop?

Life is so busy and overwhelming, we wanted to offer people some time and space for themselves where they could just focus on writing and enjoy it without any other demands. We also wanted to ensure that everyone who attended our nights had the opportunity to write and share work if they wanted to.
