Birmingham Literature Festival: Verve Open Door x BLF

For three years VERVE Poetry Festival have been holding monthly open mic nights which are free to attend and provide a platform for local poet aficionados and dabblers to perform their work or try their hand. This year VERVE Open Door is landing at Birmingham Literature Festival. Hosted as usual by Rick Sanders, this is the chance for you to grace the festival stage with your very own poems. Or simply come and enjoy the fun!

Open Mic Slots: Sign up on the door for an open mic slot from half an hour before start time. This event is pure open mic – no headliner, no feature poet – so plenty of time for all to have a go. You get four minutes max to share your work. 16 slots are available to sign up for on the night – should more than 16 people want to perform names will be drawn from a hat.

Running time approx. one hour and 30 minutes
