Poetry at Jurnet's meets from 8pm - 10pm on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (not August).
Venue: Jurnet's Bar, Wensum Lodge, King St, Norwich NR1 1QW - an easy 8-minute walk from Norwich railway station [see walking route]. Our next meeting is on January 21st, when we'll be featuring a guest performance by writer, broadcaster and long-standing Poetry at Jurnet's regular Pete Goodrum. FREE ENTRY. All welcome. Open-mic as usual. Come to read or just to listen. |
Now in its 8th year, Poetry at Jurnet's is a relaxed and informal monthly gathering at which local writers of poetry/spoken word and fiction – all forms of creative writing, really – get the chance to perform their work to a roomful of people who like that sort of thing. Open-mic is the bedrock of what we do.
OK... Cards on the table here: we haven't actually got a mic – just a rather characterful venue and a bunch of attentive poetry fans – but when we say 'open', we mean it. Old hand or first timer, whoever you are and however you identify, we want to hear you! Just turn up and sign in, and you'll be guaranteed your share of time at the ...er... 'mic'.
Broadly speaking, our calendar of events tends to alternate between evenings that are entirely devoted to open-mic contributions – usually on a pre-determined theme – and events at which we feature a guest writer who typically will perform a couple of sets, generously book-ended by open-mic activity.
A note about our themed evenings:
On these occasions, we invite you to bring along poems related to the chosen theme - but if you haven't got anything that fits, that's not a problem. The theme is just a 'serving suggestion': we want to hear your poems regardless of subject matter.
Additionally, every now and then we hold special evenings: showcase events, book launches etc. Whatever we're doing, you can always keep up to speed with it by visiting our Coming Events page.
