# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Poetry Open Mic @ The Lighthouse - Introducing New Host Peter Webb
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Lighthouse Monthly Poetry Open Mic Night introduces our new host, Peter Webb.

Brought to you by The Deal Poets Society.

Running since 2022, our monthly poetry open mic has become a welcoming space for words in all their forms.

Read your own poems. Share a favourite. Funny, furious, tender, political – if it moves you, it belongs here. Or simply come along, settle in with a drink from the Lighthouse bar, and discover new voices and old classics in a room that listens.

The night was founded and hosted by Phil Welton, who now hands the mic to our new host, Peter Webb, as the evening moves into its next chapter. At the same time, Phil brings his much-loved Deal Radio show OUR POETRY: The Music of Being Human to a close – but we’re pleased to say he’ll remain a regular presence at the night as a guest poet.

In December 2025 we released the ‘From The Lighthouse’ poetry anthology, featuring the work of 39 poets from our community. Copies are available behind the bar, with proceeds supporting the RedDuck Campaign – a more than worthy cause.

Anyone is welcome to speak.
To take part, simply introduce yourself to the host shortly before the 7pm start time.

First-timers encouraged. Regulars cherished. All welcome.
