Join us at Pinewood Community Hall (in the lounge) for a monthly, free, fun & friendly poetry club. Bring a favourite poem to read, have a go at gentle writing activities, and enjoy live performances from poets & performers from across East Anglia.

Maybe you'll be brave enough to share a poem you wrote yourself? No pressure. All words welcome. An enjoyable, relaxed, inclusive, and wordy club for adults.

Fully accessible venue. Located on the no.15/13 bus route, and large free car park (just drive up the barrier and it will open). Free tea/coffee and biscuits.

Proudly brought to you by SoapBox Spoken Word CIC, the only legally registered, spoken word, non-profit company across the East. SoapBox (as an event) started in 2006, so we have been creating fantastic, inclusive and authentic poetry events for 19 years.

Words & Verses is our longest running event, starting in 2012 at The Spread Eagle and taking place monthly, it was Ipswich's first dedicated & regular spoken word open mic, rapidly approaching our 100th edition! We are delighted that W&V is no longer the only poetry event in town, and adore how vibrant our local spoken word community is.
