SUMMARY:Poetry & Spoken Word Open-Mic at The Ghost at the Feast
DESCRIPTION:Come along and read some of your own poetry or prose\, listen to others and share in the joys of the spoken word.\n\n\nArrive from 6pm to order drinks and snacks. Open-Mic starts at 6:30pm. \nJoin us for our regular in-person Open-Mic event upstairs at The Ghost at the Feast in Chichester\, West Sussex. We meet on the 1st Tuesday of every month. The event is free to attend and open to anyone\, but a £3.00 donation made on the door would be very much appreciated. \nCome along and read some of your own poetry\, a published poem or even read some prose. \nIt doesn’t matter if this is the first piece you have written or whether you are a seasoned pro\, you will find a warm and supportive welcome as you share your work with us out loud. \nAnd if reading out loud is not for you\, please do come along and enjoy the atmosphere and listen to the readings. \nThe Ghost at the Feast has a variety of indie kitchen outlets and bars\, so plenty to choose from to eat and drink throughout the evening\, as well.
