Write Out Loud Marsden, right in the heart of Simon Armitage country and Pennine poetry trails, reconvenes on Wednesday 16 May under the expert eye of WOL co-founder Julian Jordon. The open mic event encourages beginners and is open to all to read a poem – your own or a favourite – and also to tellers of short tales, and singer-songwriters. Entry is £2. It starts at 7.30pm, Marsden library, Marsden Mechanics Hall. Map
