Miss the chance to read at our All Souls’ Night Open Mic Extravaganza in November? Been regretting it ever since? Tired of sunny days & chocolate eggs, and craving the very special antidote that can only be had from Poems Down the Pub? Shore Poets can help! In an unprecedented move, we’re folding a SECOND all open-mic night into our 2024/25 event calendar, and it’s got your moniker ALL OVER IT! 5-6 minute slots; first come, first served. We can accommodate up to ten readers – so do get in touch as soon as ever you please, at shorepoetsedinburgh @ gmail.com (remove the gaps), to secure your speed date with our microphone. With music by beloved house band, Dekoy, and a range of delectable, chocolate-egg-free raffle prizes (though sadly no Lego) … Further details below! 🐰🌷🌼🎤
The When & the Where:
Thursday 24th April, 2025
7.15pm – 9pm (doors open 7pm)
The Waverley Bar, 3-5 St Mary’s St, Edinburgh EH1 1TA
Admission: Our standard entrance charges are £7.50 (waged) and £5 (concession). This includes one raffle ticket, which will also be your receipt of entry. For those keen to increase their chances of a raffle win, we’ve also introduced a Golden Ticket: at £10, this covers entry plus five raffle tickets. Entry is payable by either card or cash.
The Raffle:
Entry includes a raffle ticket; additional tickets are also available to buy when you arrive, should you wish to increase your chances of winning this month’s scrummy lemon cake. Or you can boost the odds of snaffling that piece of home-baked glory by purchasing one of our Golden Tickets (further details above, under ‘The When & the Where’). The raffle also frequently boasts other no less wonderful but definitely less edible prizes, in the form of pamphlets or books.
See you there!
