Poetry
Open Mic.
Poetry night is usually the first Thursday of the month - with a guest poet and open mic hosted by Ellora Sutton.
Sign up to our newsletter here to keep in the Goldfinch loop.
Planned order of poetry nights:
Guest poet reads
Open mic for people to either read their own material or read from published material available to hand in the shop (or brought from home) - open mic slots are for one poem, (maximum three minutes)
Guest poet closes
No tickets - please just turn up and enjoy, but we ask that everyone pay a nominal £2 fee which we charge for all events.
For poetry nights, the shop and bar will be open to all. Contact ellorawrites@gmail.com and gary@goldfinch-books.com for more information.
