Burnt TOAST

SATURDAY 25 MAY, 8:00PM

This is a past event which has now ended.

TOAST, the team behind Norfolk’s biggest regular poetry night, is mixing things up with an after hours slam poetry open mic! Grab a slot, show off your best work, and help us to celebrate East Anglia as a hotbed of creative talent. Includes a headline set from Jasmine Gardosi.

Open mic slots will open from 9am on Saturday 20 April. Please email contact@toastpoetry.com with your name. They will then reply to you to confirm if you have a performance slot of three minutes. There are eight slots available by email, and two more ‘RISK IT’ slots will open at the event so you can chance your luck on the night!

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
