Event Type : Spoken Word

A new home for spoken word on the Isle of Wight

Ventnor Exchange Poetry Collective is a space for writers and performers who want to create, experiment and develop their craft in a supportive environment, under guidance from established and celebrated poets.

A collaboration with champion of the Island’s poetry scene King Stammers, this is an informal group that meets fortnightly. You don’t need any experience to take part, just an interest in poetry and the spoken word, and an eagerness to explore your creativity with others.

Throughout the year there will also be opportunities to see performances, attend one off masterclasses and perform.

Join the Island Storytellers for a delightful medley of stories all
connected by the gifts from the song “The Twelve days of Christmas” –
tales about swans, dancers, geese, hens, gold rings and more! Great for
3-103 year olds.

The storytelling is part of Ventnor Community Christmas celebrations
which includes a window spot competition in which people have to find
figures from the song hidden in the windows of local businesses. (entry
forms available from Ventnor Savers)

Free Entry but a donation to Ventnor’s Community Foodbank (food or cash) is welcome !
