The Listening Room returns for February 12th! Come along to the cafe on the ground floor of Leigh Community Centre and share your creative work on the open mic, or just listen to wonderful local creatives and our feature set Adrian Green!
Adrian Green’s work has appeared in magazines and anthologies in England and abroad, as well as three collections, Chorus and Coda, All That Jazz and Other Poems, and New Blues and Other Poems, all from the Littoral Press. He co-edited an anthology, From the City to the Saltings: Poems from Essex,for the Essex Poetry Festival. A trustee of The Jazz Centre, he has had a long association with the Essex Poetry Festival, Open University Poets, and the Southend Poetry Group, for which his poems have appeared in each of their annual anthologies, Southend Poetry, over the past 40 years.

We welcome creatives and listeners of all experience levels, and regularly have first-time readers. As your host, I pride myself on this event being inclusive and welcoming to all.
Leigh community centre is wheelchair accessible, and has a full bar accepting cash and card within the cafe.
Each reader on the open mic will typically get 10-15 minutes maximum. If there is leftover time we welcome a ‘jump in’ approach to shorter readings from open mic’ers.
There is parking next door in the former Police Station car park, free after 6pm and usually very quiet in the evening.
We run for charity, donation buckets are on the bar, totally optional - no pressure to donate. The current charity is Serving The Homeless.
