Celebrated around the world, International Men’s Day (IMD), is an occasion to recognise boys’ and men’s achievements and contributions, in particular for their contributions to country, society, community, neighbourhood, family, marriage, and childcare: internationalmensday.com

To help raise awareness, Pen to Print are celebrating with the return of A Gentleman’s Evening of Poetry – Open Mic Night.

Hosted by local poet, Robert Drury, we are inviting men and poets from all communities, whoever you are and wherever you are from, to come together for an intimate and interactive evening, featuring poetry and spoken word.

Bring your favourite poetry works, reading in any form, including Free Verse, Rap or Limerick, encouraging more men to confront their innermost thoughts and feelings.

Suitable for anyone aged 18+ as there may be mild language!
