Monday, 2nd August, 2021
from 6:00pm

The Box Factory
59 Regent St, Adelaide, SA 5000

We regret to tell you that the August reading (2nd August) in the Box Factory has to be cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. 

We would have to abide by limits required by the Adelaide City Council that are even lower than those indicated by the State Government, and which make the reading unworkable.

In addition to the Open Mic, we will announce the winners of the New Poets 22 and Single Poet 2021 competitions

For the Open Mic, there is a 3 minutes maximum time per reader.Click for more
