Event information
2025 is the 100th anniversary of the completion of the South Stand at Fratton Park.
Portsmouth FC's two official poets in residence, Chris Perry and Richard Williams invite you to bring your poems about a 'Portsmouth Structure' to Hunter Gatherer Coffee. The structure could be a building, a bridge, maybe even a ship, or something else - a bus shelter, park bench, fairground ride perhaps. Or how about your favourite, coffee shop, pub, or yes, sports ground? The choice is yours.
Come and read your poems and / or listen to other talented writers' poetry about the amazing structures that can, or could once be found, in our fabulous waterfront city. This will be a warm, and relaxing environment for new and regular performers alike.
If you choose to read then at least one of your poems must be about a 'Portsmouth Structure'. Depending on the number of people who wish to read, open mic slots should last for about 5 minutes each.
