One of the best bits of any ArtPort festival!
📚Join our incomparable compère, poet Ben Banyard as he introduces readings from our guest authors Maunagh Kelly and Bob Walton who’ll be reading from their own work; followed by…
📚The famous Poetry Open Mic! A chance for writers at any career stage to stand up and share their work with a supportive audience.
📚Sign up if you’d like to read, or come along and be our appreciative audience. We’ve had published poets, teens and writers of all ages and experiences finding the courage to share their work for the first time. It’s a bit wonderful really - a hidden gem of the festival weekend.
📚Following that, ArtPort is delighted to welcome Bristol author Rosemary Dun, who will read extracts from her fantastic romantic novel set in Bristol. There will also be an author Q&A session afterwards.
📚 Books available to buy after each session.
📚All details on our amazing festival website!
📚ABSOLUTELY FREE events! You should come.
📣Spread the word! You don’t want to miss this amazing morning.
