Come and join us at Between The Lines Poetry for an evening of open mic poetry and spoken word at Smoke & Mirrors theatre pub. This event takes place on the first Tuesday of each month and is hosted by John Rea.

Everyone from new writers and first-time performers to established wordsmiths and seasoned poets is invited to perform their work in front of a supportive and encouraging audience. There is a warm community around the event and we want to hear a range of voices, themes and styles.

Sign-up for a slot to read is from 7pm on the night. Please arrive early to guarantee a slot – there will be 20 reading slots of 5 minutes each. We then get started at 8pm and usually finish around 10:30pm. The bar stays open until 11:30pm.

Tickets are £4, available on Headfirst or on the door. For more details contact [email protected] or www.instagram.com/between_the_lines_bristol
