International Mother Language Day 2025: Poetry Open Mic

Manchester Poetry Library is delighted to be hosting its third multilingual open mic night to celebrate International Mother Language Day.
About this Event

Manchester Poetry Library is delighted to be hosting its third multilingual open mic night to celebrate International Mother Language Day. We welcome readings in any language.

You can choose to read your own poems or a poem by a well-known poet (or not so well-known). If you’re still unsure, please just turn up and you can decide whether you want to read on the night. You might want to choose something spontaneously from our collection, or just stay and listen.

This year, we will also be joined by special guests to celebrate the various multilingual projects and partnerships that the Poetry Library has been fortunate enough to be involved with.

Places to read will be allocated on a firstcome, first-served basis. Refreshments will be provided. Please email Martin at [email protected] if you have any questions.
