As part of Abergavenny Writing Festival we’re celebrating inclusivity and diversity in the world of writing in Wales.

The Writing Festival kicks off social proceedings with an accessible spoken-word open-mic event here in the cosy and easy to access bar area.  The event will be hybrid so both audience and participants are able to join either in person or via a zoom link.  There will be closed captioning and BSL interpretation for the performance.

This event is delivered with the support of write4word through its ‘Press Speak Not Delete’ project, creating a hybrid of physical performance and digital channels to develop a more diverse and accessible arts sector.

The open-mic programme is limited to 8 participants in the physical venue and 8 participants on-line. Performance slots are 4 minutes in length.

General entry £5, entry for participants is also £5 but includes an additional complimentary ticket for a friend or family member. Please contact dominic@write4word.org to book a slot.
