I’m thrilled to be reading at Sarah Briault’s POETRY AND PROSECCO event coming up on Saturday 13 June. I was booked to read at last month’s P&P but, floored by covid, I had to pull out. I’m so pleased to be reading this time alongside my friends, both excellent poets, Charlotte Ansell and Maggie Harris. Thank you, Sarah, for organising these events so beautifully. More details are here:

On Saturday 13 June, 2026, from 7.30 – 9.30pm, Sarah Briault brings POETRY & PROSECCO to north Kent again for another  ‘fun, bubbly evening’ and I am excited to be a featured poet reading alongside CHARLOTTE ANSELL and MAGGIE HARRIS. We’ll be in the glamorous surroundings of the Oriole Cafe at Kent County Cricket’s Spitfire ground in Canterbury. Your ticket price includes a glass of Prosecco or non-alcoholic drink, and the chance to read your own words in the OPEN MIC. You can find more about the event here, with a photograph of Sarah reading ‘Safe Ground’. Books will be available at a pop-up book stall run by Chapters Coffee & Books of Sturry and tickets are through EVENTBRITE.
