Book your Spot

Join The Hearth Centre for an evening of poetry and prose that will lift your spirits in these times of uncertainty.

Settle in and listen to a thoughtfully chosen selection of readings — pieces that may make you laugh, move you to tears, or leave you with something new to think about. Poetry has a unique way of helping us make sense of the world, and this evening is an invitation to share that experience together.

Do you have a poem you return to in moments of joy or difficulty? We warmly invite you to be part of the evening by bringing a poem in your pocket (paper copies welcome — or a poem on your smartphone works just as well!) to share with others. 

This is a relaxed, welcoming event for anyone who enjoys words, listening and being together.

This event is presented as part of Healing Arts Birmingham.

Teas and coffees are included in the ticket price.
