Open Mic Poetry welcomes poets writing in any style and on any subject. All welcome. Listeners equally welcome.
We meet on the last Wednesday of most months - January, February, April, May, September, October and November - at New Park Centre, Chichester. 7.30pm. Sign up on the door to read.
We also offer A Celebration of Poetry with live music and a headline guest poet on National Poetry Day each October and in March.
Plus each June we run a spectacular Poetry & Jazz Café as part of the Festival of Chichester in Edes House, with a top name from the world of poetry and live jazz from brilliant musicians. Plus free cake!
