Poets in the Lounge
Boom! London, after a brief stint out the capital we are back and ready to bring the poetic bars to Deptford Lounge. Join us on the 13th June for another explosive night of poetry, both from yourselves as part of our renowned open mic but also from two special feature poets who will bless us with full sets.
If you missed us at Deptford Lounge back in October for our 4th birthday event, then you must come down this time around to join us in a beautiful, intimate setting in South East London. We cannot wait to get back on stage and hear all those incredible poems.

Off The Chest's 4th Birthday: Everyone’s Invited!
Join us for a special birthday edition of Off The Chest! Celebrating four years of creating spaces of poetry, this month we are at Deptford Lounge for a poetry event doubling up as a birthday party! The run down of the event goes like this…
6 PM: Preceding our open mic event, there will be a special workshop, run by Cia Mangat of Zindabad. This will be a relaxed workshop open to everyone, whether you're a seasoned poet, a beginner to writing or somewhere in between. We'll be creating centos, or patchwork poems, by cutting up and collaging lines of existing poems along with lines we've written together. We recommend booking for this in advanced, as spaces are limited.
7.30 PM: Our open mic event kicks off, including feature poets from four other poetry nights in London: Everything Poetry, Word Soul, Zindabad and Process Productions. Plus, don’t miss the opportunity to perform your own poetry as part of our renowned open mic.
Everyone’s invited! This event is pay what you decide, so don’t let ticket prices get in the way of celebrating poetry with us.
