A FRIENDLY open-mic poetry contest returns to The Rising Sun Arts Centre this Sunday, November 5.

The Dreading Slam is a space for poets of all abilities to showcase their work, and for people to appreciate it.

Each poet can read two of their poems, each lasting a maximum of three minutes each. They are scored out of 10 by three volunteer judges, with the top three entrants qualifying for a final. The winner is crowned the best poet in Berkshire … until the next event.

The Dreading Slam is held on the first Sunday of the month from 7.30pm, and is held at the Silver Street arts venue.

For more details, log on to: www.risingsunartscentre.org
