About Us

CB1 Poetry aims to encourage excellence in poetry: in writing, performance and appreciation. We seek to attract and develop new audiences for poetry.

CB1 Poetry events are open to the whole community. We seek to provide an accessible^* venue and a welcoming environment for all participants.

Through open mike evenings and guest poet readings, we provide a platform for local writers and the development of new talent before an appreciative and discerning audience. We also offer the opportunity to listen to and appreciate well established writers.

We are non profit making and are grateful to receive support for our Michaelhouse guest readings from Cambridgeshire County Council and Cambridge City Council.
