About this Event

Our new home is The Clissold Arms (Home of the Kinks), and everyone that's joined us can attest to the magical vibe!

We welcome you to DeepChats - Spoken Word Sessions

Come and join us in bringing some Christmas spirit this December! What better way to start off the festive week than by joining us in the warmth of community, art and sharing.

*CHRISTMAS SPECIAL*
For this particular DeepChats Session - I encourage everyone (speakers and non-speakers) to:

Prepare a Christmas Haiku - Google's description: A haiku is a three-line Japanese poem with a \(5,7,5\) syllable structure. Traditionally, it focuses on nature or a season, but modern haiku can be about a wide range of topics and often captures a specific moment in time. The lines are unrhymed and are meant to create a brief, evocative image.
Wear one thing (ANYTHING) Christmas-y. Eg. Hat/Tinsel/Jumper/Reindeer glasses??

We'll be staying on a little later after the event finishes at 10:30pm to enjoy your company and have a general chat, seeing as it's already the holidays! (I definitely won't be working the next day!)

Please do stay, if you can, it would be lovely to hang out!

As per usual - We encourage anyone who would like to: Recite a poem, share a verse, tell or sing a story, spit some bars, share some love...This is a safe place to do so!
My name is Deip, I'll be your host for this event.

This will be our finale for 2025, and I'd love to thank you all for helping make DeepChats a staple fixture over this year!

The idea was born from my love of spoken word and my desire to share my experiences as a single father, including the trials and tribulations of separation. The idea is to create a safe space to be able to help/guide/support anyone else going through a tough time. I wish it to be a place for us to share the happy times and the sad times.
