A slam without the 'bam' - all welcome to the silky, sensitive Poetry Pillow!
Your hosts DOMINIC BERRY and STEVE O CONNOR bring you an exciting yet friendly poetry competition.
Anyone can enter. No need to book in advance, just turn up on the night for a 2 minute slot and a chance to win the elusive prize inside the mysterious poetry pillow!
You don't have to read - many come just to sit back and enjoy the great new verse shared by new and established poets.
