ManyHands Cafe invites you to an evening of poetry on Friday the 5th March to celebrate the winners of our poetry competition.

The fun starts at 7.30pm, in the Copper Room, upstairs at The Lead Station. Compered by local poet copland smith, and featuring the winner of our poetry competition Sarah Dixon, and second prize winner 'Pip the Poet'.

There will also be the opportunity for five minute open mic slots, so either turn up and ask to be added to the list, or email leigh@manyhandscafe.co.uk in advance to reserve a space

Hope to see you there!
