To launch this year’s season and mark our 21st year, join us for an evening where local writers take to the stage to read and share their work.
 

We know that, across Tendring and beyond, there are writers scribbling into their notebooks, making hurried notes on their phones, or recording their next idea (usually before they finish their currrent WIP…!).

That’s why, for our 21st year, we’re hosting a Writers’ Open Mic Night to launch the Frinton Literary Festival.

On Wednesday 25th October 2023 we will be at Walton & Frinton Yacht Club – doors open at 6:30 for a 7pm start – to celebrate the storytellers, performers, and spoken word artists around us.  

We’d like to encourage local writers – of prose, poetry, and everything in between – to sign up for a slot and share their work at this free event.

Performance spaces will be limited and registration in advance is essential.

Anyone interested in taking part should email writeretreatuk@gmail.com with a brief overview of your work (e.g. poetry, flash fiction) and a short biography.
