A spoken word celebration of International Women's Day.

London's noisiest stand up poetry night is coming to town! We're proud to be collaborating with local poet, Sarah Tait, and putting on an all women show as part of Power of Women Festival 2022.

There will be featured poets performing to the festival's theme of Reclaim and Reconnect, there will be an open mic, and there will be limericks.

Come as a citizen, leave as a poet.

Write a limerick, meet people, feel all the things.

If you're interested in performing on the Open Mic, there are 8 slots, to be booked in advance. Please select an Open Mic ticket when booking, and Rhymes with Orange we will be in touch to invite you to a rehearsal and writing workshop the week before the event. 

Doors open at 7pm.

Performances start at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £5 if booked in advance online, £6 on the door. Booking in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment as there is limited capacity.
