Rhubarb is a pay-as-you feel event that welcomes poetry & prose readers on an open mic in the first half, followed by a headline set from an invited guest. If you want to read on the open mic, please book with us when you arrive. We generally offer 10 open mic slots (squeezing in a few extras when we can). Please note we will be strict on timings this month as we expect a crowd, and want to leave a comfortable interval. As always, listeners are also very welcome
