Hello BaB – Stories, Poetry & Conversation

Join Worcestershire Poet Laureate Jay Rose Ana for the very first Hello BaB, Bench Across Borders, where Jay returns to her Black Country roots.

The evening begins with fascinating local stories from historian Arthur Baker, followed by an informal "Getting to know Mogs" conversation with Black Country poet John "Mogs" Morris and a short feature performance.

After a break with refreshments, everyone is welcome to share a poem, story or song during the open mic, or simply come along to listen. No experience is needed, and there is no pressure to perform.

Whether you love local history, spoken word or simply enjoy discovering something different in your community, you'll receive a warm welcome.
