Cost: Free


Accessibility Statement: Little Drop of Poison is fully wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet on the ground floor. 

Please note, LDOP is primarily a pub, where alcohol is served. But there are a range of soft drinks and alcohol free beer available, and no pressure to drink when attending a Spork! event 

As it's an open mic, we can't always control the content. Spork! events tend to be fun and upbeat in tone, but occasionally poets will share work that features some challenging themes. Artists are encouraged to give trigger warnings where possible. 

For any other access requirements or questions, please get in touch with Chris on sporkpoetry@gmail.com
