REGULAR EVENTS
DGPS provide monthly Open Floor events and monthly Guest Nights.
Currently these take place on the first Wednesday of the month (Open
Floor) and the third Wednesday of the month (Guest Night), in the Everyman Bistro, third room, Hope St, Liverpool
Occasional
variations may occur e.g. when a guest poet
is unable to make a Wednesday evening, or we book a larger venue, so please keep an eye on
our publicity.
DGPS also run two Poetry Reading Groups, one at Central Library in Liverpool, and the other at Bebington Library on the Wirral. These run monthly on saturday daytimes, but for short seasons (e.g.September - May) Please contact the co-ordinator for more information on these.
DIRECTIONS
Everyman
Bistro Third Room, Hope Street. If you are coming from the
town centre follow Renshaw Street up the hill into Hardman Street;
at the traffic lights with the Philharmonic Hall turn left - go
towards the Catholic Cathedral with the spiky crown roof, and the
Everyman Bistro is on your right. This is a fifteen minute walk
from town or a five minute taxi ride. Buses are 80, 86, 75, leaving
from St John's shopping centre every 5-10 minutes - ask to get off
by the Philharmonic Hall)
ACCESS
Access is down a flight of stairs and the room has a cabaret
seating set-up. More and more regularly we are using a PA system,
but you do not have to use the microphone if you are uncomfortable
with it. Food and drink are available from the Bistro, and the venue is open
until midnight.
Our doors open 8pm for an 8.30 pm start, although the remainder
of the Bistro is open from lunchtime onwards. We ask for £1
donation on Open Floor nights, and usually £3/ £2/ £1 on Guest Nights, however a very big name / venue costs, etc. might push the charge up.
