Thame Poetry Salon - An Open Mic Night for Poetry, Storytelling and Music

An open mic night of poetry, storytelling, and musical performances ✨The goal of this event is to offer a supportive platform for local poets and creatives and to give audiences a unique experience. If you have some poetry or other creative offerings such as storytelling, music or short stand up comedy routines that you’ve been hoping to share publicly in a welcoming environment, please do get in touch with me about performing on the night. And similarly if you’ve been looking for an interesting night out, where you experience local artists in their element, then this is the event for you! Here’s a recent testimonial of the salon: Attending the poetry reading evening hosted by Caoilfhionn is always a delight. She creates a warm, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and encouraged to share their words, regardless of experience. The feedback is consistently positive and kind, fostering creativity and confidence in every participant. It's truly a special space in the community where poetry is celebrated and connections are formed. If you love poetry and enjoy a friendly environment with perhaps a glass or two, this is for you ! Lyn The event details are as follows: 📍Location: The Cross Keys Thame 🌙Event Date + Time: Friday the 9th of October, 7-9pm 🔑Other event details: If you want to perform, please let me know in advance via email ([email protected]) if you can as this helps me to plan, although there will also be the chance to ask on the day too. What to expect at this event: 📝I will create a list of performers from those who contacted me in advance and from those who ask on the door. Depending on the number of entries you will have the chance to perform 1-2 poems, or more if they are Haiku. 🎼I also welcome other creative performances such as music, storytelling or a short stand-up comedy routine. If there are too many performers, I will prioritise those who asked first. You are very welcome to come if you don’t want to perform - we need audience members! Your attention helps bring the art to life ⚡️ 🖤My goal with these events is that each performer leaves buoyed and supported in their craft, so I ask that a willing member of the audience gives them a complementary and insightful reflection of their performance. No criticism is allowed (life often offers plenty of that!) 🍷There will be a break half way through, and I ask that you support The Cross Keys by purchasing a drink or more throughout the event.
