About the Event
Join us for a warm, easy-going evening of community creativity at The Open Space.
From music and poetry to spoken word, this relaxed event brings people together to share stories, ideas and performances in a welcoming, informal setting.
Back by popular demand, the Our Space Between Us community returns to share highlights from their creative writing circles and intergenerational band sessions.
This year’s theme is LOVE - so expect an evening filled with moving, funny and thoughtful reflections on what love means in all its forms.
Whether you come to perform or simply to listen, you’re invited to be part of it.
