Sappho Poetry Open Stage

Poetry nights are held on the first Wednesday of every month (except January) and have become renowned for their welcoming atmosphere and line-up of well-known poets. Supported by University of Technology Sydney Creative Writing, this event series is hosted by poets and UTS creative writing teachers, Dave Drayton, Sarah Attfield and Anne Casey. The 2026 events program kicks off with a series of Open Stage events featuring open mics only, with feature poets to return later in the year. Poets at all stages - from absolute beginners to established - are invited (and warmly encouraged!) to sign up for the open mic roster at the venue from 6.30 pm on the night. There will be a limited number of two-minute reading slots available. The event kicks off at 7pm. All welcome!
