Hope On Prescription LAUNCH'S FIRST POETRY OPEN MIC
POETS - This is Your Launch Call!
We’re so excited to announce the very first Hope on Prescriptions Open Mic Night.
📍 The Stage Door, Dartford, DA1 1BE
🕖 Tuesday 5th May - 8:00 PM start - Free Entry
This is a poetry-focused open mic, the performance slots are for poets only, but everyone is warmly invited to come along, watch, and soak it all in. Expect an evening of wondering words, exhilarating voices, and powerful storytelling, a space to discover new work, connect, and be moved.
Each poet will have a 10-minute set, with a short interval to pause and connect. And because it’s National Astronaut Day. We invite you to reach for the stars with your writing, explore space, the universe, distance, light… or whatever “space” means to you (completely optional, all themes welcome.)
Want to perform? Please email: info@hopeonprescription.co.uk
***Please note: performance slots are limited, so act fast!
