Open-mic – 4th January
Thank you so much to everybody who came out to our December event to hear readings by the brilliant Stav Poleg and Leo Boix! What a way to end the year!
For the first CB1 of 2026, we’ll be going back to our roots with an all-out open mic session on 4th January! So bring a poem to share or simply come and listen to the huge variety of work that our open-mic sessions always produce. CB1 is an incredibly welcoming, encouraging place to read so whether it’s your first time reading or you’ve been in the scene for years we can’t wait to hear what you’ve been working on!
Entry will be £2 and it’s an 18:30 start. After a couple of months away, I’m pleased to say we’ll be at the Town and Gown again this month. We look forward to seeing you there, whether you come just to listen or also to read a poem of your own.
