Bad Betty Live is a night of dynamic poetry and music, showcasing world-class artists and local favourites in a warm and inclusive setting, hosted by Bridie Squires and Jake Wild Hall.

A relaxed open mic poetry night ran by Jay Sandhu at the Robin Hood in Sherwood, featuring double-headliner act Cara Thompson and Rebecca 'Bep' Summerscales (BARA).

Join dynamic Nottingham spoken word collective – GOBS – for an evening of full-moon-inspired poetry performances punctuated by the incredible sounds of Randolph Matthews. GOBS have been in residency at Nonsuch Studios for the past few months, working together with Lead Writers Ioney Smallhorne and Bridie Squires, as well as a host of incredible artists – including Apples and Snakes’ John Berkavitch – to produce a showcase of poetic talent.

What will we have learned from stillness and silence?From sharing, not taking? Waiting not pushing?Whispering not shouting? Dawdling not rushing?
