About This Event

🎤 Battle of the Bards: November Prompt – "Listening" 👂📖

Sometimes the most powerful words begin with simply listening.

📅 Sunday, November 22nd
⏰ Time: 12:30 PM
📍 Location: The Allies Pub

Our monthly poetry competition returns with a thought-provoking new prompt: "Listening." 🎧

What does it truly mean to listen? To the people we love, the world around us, the quiet voice within, or even the things left unsaid?

This month, we're inviting local poets to explore the art of listening through original poetry. Whether it's a heartfelt reflection, a humorous observation, a powerful message, or an unexpected interpretation, we can't wait to hear where this prompt takes our talented community!

🏆 How It Works:

Poets present their original works inspired by the month's prompt, and the audience helps determine the winners! Our top three poets will also have their work featured in our annual Battle of the Bards poetry collection.

🎭 Not a poet? No problem! Come listen, laugh, reflect, and support our incredible local writers. Your vote helps celebrate the creativity and talent that make our community so special.

🍻 Grab a pint, enjoy some delicious British pub fare, and settle in for an afternoon of words worth hearing.

✨ All are welcome! Whether you're sharing your words or lending an ear, there's a place for you at The Allies Pub.

Because every voice deserves to be heard—and every story deserves someone willing to listen. ❤️
