Hexham’s poetry and spoken word event Words on the Wall returns to the County Hotel on 18 February with another amazing line-up of poets.
Our headliners this time are former Glastonbury poet-in-residence Dominic Berry, viral superstar Gill Connors, and Teesside legend Bob Beagrie. We’ll also have our usual open mic, so please bring something of your own to share if you’d like to.
If you want to sign up for the open mic, just ask our host Joe Williams for a slot when you arrive. It’s first come, first served, but we’ll do our best to fit everyone in. Anyone is welcome, no matter whether you’re a first-timer or a veteran performer. Please stick to the time limit of 4 minutes, which includes any introductions and miscellaneous faffing about.
Entry is on a pay-as-you-feel basis. If you don’t feel able to pay anything, that’s fine. All donations go to the guest poets, who will also have books for sale. The pub is open all day and will be serving food, so please feel free to come earlier or stick around afterwards to enjoy a drink and something to eat.
Doors at 2.30 for a 3pm start. I hope you can join us!
