Hi Everyone

We just want to say a massive thank you to everybody who came through our doors last weekend.  Also, thank you to all our volunteers who not only spent months planning it but manning the bar, doing the sound, serving food and those who were just helping out for a bit.  We can even extend a thank you to the weather for becoming a bit more seasonal on the day, it certainly made a  nice change from the wind and rain during the week.

And as you can imagine, things are a bit on the quiet side this weekend, however, we still find time to give you another helping of OPEN PAGE/OPEN STAGE

A monthly collaborative event, for writers, artists, musicians, and everyone in between! 

If you’re an artist, bring your work early on so we can hang it around.
If you write – poetry, prose, songs, plays – bring a piece or an excerpt. Actors – come and practice for auditions!

Some writers lack the confidence to read themselves, so the idea is to have a standby ‘cast’ for pieces with shy voices. If you play an instrument, bring it along! Think of the evening as a cross-creative spectrum jam night. The aim is to build people’s confidence and create something new! And just to meet the brilliant people we might not otherwise know about

We’re open at 7pm and it’s absolutely FREE!

That’s everything for another week, just to remind you that we are, as always, at 30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST (If you pop it into your satnav or Google, we shall magically appear!)
