Unslammed - a live event at Stoke-on-Trent City Central Library

 

Live in the Library We're incredibly excited to announce our first live evening event back in libraries!   In the run up to Christmas we wanted to bring you a real treat so we have invited two multi poetry slam-winning poets to perform some of their work for an evening that promises to be fun, insightful and incredibly enjoyable.   Join us for Unslammed - we're giving our poets free rein to perform whatever they want to amuse, tantalise and entertain us.     Brenda Read-Brown – an amazing poet who has previously visited us at City Central Library. Brenda is a veritable poetry powerhouse - her blood group is B positive so she just can’t help herself!   Nick Degg – a superb poet and a Stoke-on-Trent local who describes himself as having a comedic mouth and rock n roll feet.     Date: Friday 10 December 2021 Time: 7pm Location: City Central Library, Hanley Tickets: £3 per person (includes refreshments)   £3 for an evening out, with refreshments? Sounds like a pretty good deal to us!   To book tickets for this event you can contact City Central Library directly via phone – 01782 238455 or via email central.library@stoke.gov.uk     Safety The safety of our customers and our staff is absolutely paramount so we have made a few changes to our usual event procedure to keep everyone safe: Although not mandatory in libraries we are encouraging all library customers to wear face coverings wherever possible whilst in the library building. Hand sanitiser will be readily available. We will be using a different space than usual which will provide us with better ventilation and will allow us to provide more space between audience members.   Anyone displaying potential covid symptoms must not attend the event and should follow NHS guidance on testing and self-isolation.       Watch Brenda in action at The Roses Theatre   Watch Nick Degg performing his poem 'I Come from a Town'     For more information or to book tickets please contact City Central Library on 01782 238455 or email central.library@stoke.gov.uk
