Smith’s Poetry Thing

Event

Each Monday evening Smith's serves up a feast of words!

Two feature poets present readings from their latest publications and most evenings include an open mic section that's inclusive and fun - open to all and you can sign up on the night.

Big Open Mic nights once a month are free, otherwise there's usually an entry fee (sometimes readings are free too) - check out the website for what's on this week!
