Speak the Word: online open mic night

ON THE 4TH SATURDAY OF THE MONTH, SPEAK THE WORD RUNS AN OPEN MIC NIGHT

5-minute slots available, assigned on the night. Come to read and come to listen.

Come and enjoy some wordplay with a friendly, inclusive and encouraging group. Whoever you are and whatever your relationship with poetry, we'd love you to join us. Feel free to join as audience, without reading.

Following on from an incredible series of poetry and spoken word workshops with Roundhouse Slam Poet Rakaya Fetuga, through The Caraf Centre, several of us enjoyed the community so much that we've decided to continue the sessions.

Event time: 6–8pm (GMT/UTC)

Duration: 2 hours

Accessibility: Captioning available, let us know if you have any other accessibility needs.

Queer & trans-affirming.

Our Speak the Word events are designed for adults (18+), and are not appropriate for those under the age of 18. We hope you find a supportive space elsewhere to nourish your poetry.
