Soft Spot is a place to be witnessed via your words. They can be sentimental, funny or nonsensical. The more experimental you get, the better. It’s a no-pressure, no-judgment environment where you’re free to express whatever you want to, or simply listen. No experience needed.

A non extensive list of word forms you might want to share: Instagram stories, blog posts, lyrics, an acapella folk song (no instruments please), journal entries, eBay watch lists, horoscopes, shopping lists, emails, cold call scripts, voice notes (with permission from the subject obvs), book excerpts, poems, notes app rambles, a dream you recorded, unsent letters, sent letters, news headlines, birthday card messages, a well crafted text, comedy sketches, spoken word, instructions, reddit feeds, your pets vet record….

If you’d like to share, add your name to the hat at the start of the night; everyone who does will have a chance to read. Readers are chosen at random. Everyone is welcome, with a special invitation to LGBTQ+ communities, Black and Brown communities, and other underrepresented groups.

- Please arrive between 7:00 - 7:15 pm so we can start gently at 7:30 pm.
- Readings happen inside the top barn (a map will be shared in an email on the day).
- The venue is accessible via a community-made ramp; however, sadly, there is no wheelchair accessible toilet (yet… Bridge Farm is trying to gather funding to build one).
- Though the event is 18+, if you have a baby under 2 years old and can’t find a babysitter, please bring them along. Obvs they will be under your care whilst at the event.
-Tea and biscuits on tap (sometimes people bring yummy cakes to share)
