Poetry at Jurnet's meets from 8-10pm 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 - on September 17th - is a special tribute night to celebrate the life and work of poet and Jurnet's regular Steve Glason, who died earlier this year. FREE ENTRY. All welcome. Open-mic as usual. Come to read or just to listen. |
Poetry at Jurnet's provides a relaxed and convivial forum to encourage local writers of poetry and fiction of all styles, both published and unpublished, to read their work in public. Open-mic is the bedrock of what we do.
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.
