Doors 7pm / Performance 7.45pm 

Come and join us at Between The Lines for an evening of open mic poetry at the Bristol Folk House cafe. This event takes place on the first Wednesday of each month and is hosted by John Rea.

Everyone from new writers to established poets is invited to perform their work in front of a supportive and encouraging audience. There is a warm community around the event and first time performers are especially welcome.

Sign up for a 3-minute reading spot from 7pm on the night on a first come, first served basis. This is our first birthday, and by way of celebration I am delighted to announce that a special guest poet from Northern Ireland, Arun Sharma, will be coming along to read in the second half. This means that there will be twelve spots available in the first half. We may be able to fit in a couple more if time allows.


We'll start at 7.45pm and finish at 9.30pm.

Entry is free and you can reserve a seat by booking a ticket on Headfirst.
