Join us for July’s Poetry Reading. An evening of poems, munchies and drinks on the pavement. We’re thrilled for our second reading to include Ella Frears, Eve Esfandiari-Denney & Richard Scott.

Weather is not promised, but we hope to spend the evening outside, eating and chatting before sitting in to listen to the work of three of our favourite poets.
