Sligo Pride & Bookmart Sligo are proud to present an evening of poetry and culture. Join us soon at The Model for a night of poetry and conversation – everyone’s welcome, and admission is free! There’s an informal atmosphere and no need to sign up to read beforehand, you can just make your way there and enjoy yourself, read your own work or a favourite poem by a famous author. Illuminations is an open mic poetry event, where you are invited to read your favourite authors, share our own work, or just enjoy a good poetry reading.

Named in honour of the suite of poems by Arthur Rimbaud, Illuminations – Open Mic Poetry is a free, monthly event celebrating poetry and the spoken word. This event is open to readers, writers and performers of poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction, music, performance art and esoterica. Illuminations is presented in collaboration with Bookmart Sligo.
