Details: Our regular MC is Sam Loveless, who will take reader sign-ups at the beginning of the night (or in the break if you arrive late). Reading times will vary dependent on number of readers.

Poetry Swindon Reading Group

In January, we will be starting a new monthly poetry reading group. This will be a free to attend event that will give people the opportunity to share and discuss poems in a relaxed environment.
