Story Café Special: National Poetry Day

28th September, 2017, 12:30pm to 2:30pm

Free – £2.00

Immerse yourself in tales from around the world at our lunchtime Story Café, as we rediscover the joy of being read to.

So far this year, our hearts have been aflutter over the joys and sorrows of first love, humbled by the bravery of political activists and warmed by acts of compassion.  Stories and poems give us a glimpse into the lives of women across the globe, whilst helping us to make sense of our own.  So why not top up your cuppa from our big, bottomless teapot, get yourself comfy and be a part of the story.

Story Café is on Thursdays 7th to 28th September, 12th and 26th October, 2nd November, 16th to 30th November, 7th and 14th December, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, £2/Free

Poets! Tea! Cake!  There’s nowhere else you’d rather be on National Poetry Day than at our gorgeous, glorious poetry picnic. We’ll be giving a big, warm Story Café welcome to Nalini Paul, whose luminous poems explore migration, memory and landscape. She’ll be joined by some of the wonderful writers from the Glasgow Women Poets anthology, which is published by Four-em Press.

This event encouraged me to read poetry for the first time! – Story Café Participant
