There will be free sandwiches and nibbles at the Bards of New Brighton pre-Christmas open floor poetry night on Monday, 10 December, at the Magazine pub. Co-host Dave Costello said: “The Christmas night is special. We have open floor poetry but not quite as much as usual. On the night, more time than is usual is reserved for pure socialising and merry-making, which is something poets don’t do enough of.” The food is being kindly provided by pub manager, Steve Brady. Entry is also free, and the fun stars at 8pm. More details and Map
