An open mic venue in Buxton is looking for guest poets. Spoken Words is a poetry/short story night held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Tea Chest in George Street, from 7.45-10.15pm. They say: “We sometimes invite visiting poets to close the evening with a 30-minute set. We are looking to invite some new visiting poets to perform for us. We can’t pay you but we can provide food, drink and accommodation and will give you a very warm reception.” Anyone interested should email juliancohen@hotmail.co.uk or ring 07713 246391.
