CB1 Poetry Open Mic Night

Entry: £3 / £2 concessions; Open Mic and featured performers, readings begin at 8pm and the event finishes shortly before 10pm.
(If you’re wandering around on the night, try to remember that the readings are held in the converted barn to the rear of the pub’s courtyard.)

“Come along just to listen to some great poetry, or arrive by 7.45pm to sign up for a 2-minute slot to perform your work before a friendly, attentive audience. Events usually have one or more featured poets, who begin each half before the open mic slots.”

CB1 is a genuinely friendly, inclusive poetry night, with some gob-smacking featured performers.

“CB1 Poetry aims to encourage excellence in poetry: in writing, performance and appreciation. We seek to attract and develop new audiences for poetry.

“CB1 Poetry events are open to the whole community. We seek to provide an accessible venue and a welcoming environment for all participants.

“Through open mike evenings and guest poet readings, we provide a platform for local writers And the development of new talent before an appreciative and discerning audience. We also offer the opportunity to listen to and appreciate well-established writers.

“We are non profit making and are grateful to receive support for our Michaelhouse guest readings from Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council.”
