A FRIENDLY open-mic poetry contest returns to The Rising Sun Arts Centre this Sunday, August 7.

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.
