Inkspill Poetry Night

Half workshop, half open mic – all about poetry! 

 

Take some time to be creative and join hosts Abbi and Hannah for a night focused on poetry and community. Split into two halves, the night opens with a workshop where you will be led through a series of writing exercises centred on a theme. A quick hydration break before the open mic begins where performers are celebrated and encouraged by our friendly community. 

 

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, looking to connect with fellow poets, or simply want to spend an evening surrounded by poetry, Ink Spill is the place to be!
