Poetry in the Pond is a monthly gathering for local poets who want to share their work in a warm, supportive environment.

Whether you've been writing poetry for decades or you've just started putting words to the page, this group is for you. 

We meet as a small group and each session is a chance to read something you've written, hear what others are working on, and be part of a collaborative community of poets.

Sessions run monthly on Fridays from 10.30–11.30am at The Vassall Centre, Fishponds.

2026 dates:

Places are free, though limited and booking is essential.

Share your words. Find your people.
