SUMMARY:NORTHAMPTON: Pop-up Poetry Night – Write and Share
DESCRIPTION:Come along for a relaxed evening as part of The Creative Place’s 2026 2 Weeks of Words. \nWe’ll start with some guided poetry writing\, then some gentle vocal warm-ups followed by the chance to share your work in a friendly\, supportive open mic setting. \nThis is for poets\, performers\, writers and those who are word curious 16yrs+ (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult). \nYou don’t need to be an active poet but you can be. \nYou don’t need to have shared work before\, but you can have. \nYou don’t need to have eaten cake before – but if you haven’t\, I want to hear more! Maybe you could write a poem about it. \nBring your whole self\, an open heart and an open mind to this cosy\, intimate venue where we’ll have fun exploring a few exercises with words before sharing with the group. There is no expectation to share if you don’t want to. \n£10 ticket price includes any soft or hot drink AND a cake. If you would like a Vegan\, Gluten Free or Vegan AND Gluten Free cake\, please buy an appropriate ticket below – there will be other choices on the night but gives us an idea of dietary requirements. \nThe event is hosted by Abbi Jinks\, poet and MC living in Northamptonshire. \nAbbi has written poetry since her teens\, rediscovering it four years ago after spontaneously performing with a live band at a festival. Since then\, she’s delivered performances and workshops\, helping people find their voices. She believes writing and sharing stories can be deeply healing\, with self-expression a powerful tool. \nTwice slam winner at Leicester’s ‘Some-Antics’ spoken word night\, Abbi loves to get playful and creative with her writing and performance. She also offers creative workshops to community groups\, corporates and businesses – great for building connection in teams and also inspiring more creative thinking. \nAs a founding member of the Association of Business Poets\, Abbi works creating ‘live event poetry’\, capturing the magic of an event or gathering. She also works with her trusty typewriter to bring small bespoke poems to guests and attendees.

Insta: @jodiexneely Website: www.jodieneely.com \nAmir Ali\, a British memoir author whose writing explores resilience\, healing\, trauma and personal transformation. His debut memoir\, The Boy Who Walked Through Fire: A Journey of Pain\, Survival\, and Becoming Whole\, draws upon his own life experiences to deliver an honest account of overcoming childhood adversity while offering hope to others facing similar struggles. Professionally\, Amir has spent many years leading complex technology and transformation programmes across both the NHS and the private sector. Alongside his professional career\, he has developed a passion for writing stories that encourage resilience\, compassion and personal growth. \nWill Adams has a selection of fiction and non-fiction books\, inspired by railways\, sci fi and Northamptonshire! They include his debut novel 'Consequences': Edward Prescot has a boring job in a boring office\, and every day is much like another. Except\, as it turns out\, Thursdays\, which are becoming increasingly unlike every other day. Then he is introduced to the enigmatic Mr Pycroft\, who explains that everything we do – past\, present and future – has far-reaching consequences. Normally these are irreversible\, but it appears that Ed has the rare ability to manipulate these consequences to fashion a different future – especially on Thursdays. At the London Traveller Centre he meets his similarly gifted companion Tony Curtis (not that one) and finds himself thrust into an unsettling world of speculative time travel. Will a better world emerge? Will Tony become less irritating? Will Ed finally win Maggie’s heart? In this fast-moving story\, Will Adams and Martin Smith pay homage to their old university friend and co-writer the late Douglas Adams\, of Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fame. Consequences is by turns exciting\, funny and a tad satirical. \nPaul Giffney\, aka The Purple Pen Poet\, has been a lover of poetry ever since the day that he discovered Spike Milligan’s On the Ning Nang Nong (and he still enjoys reciting it today – ask him when he is free and he will!). He performs lots of poetry\, both his and that of others\, at many open mic nights across the country\, often dragging other poets with him\, having encouraged many when he was the 10th Bard of Northampton. He lives in Northampton with his husband\, his cat and a pile of books that do not fit on any shelf (the books. The cat fits on every shelf). He is currently studying for a Master’s in Psychology\, finding ways to use his creativity to help others and actively seeks opportunities to do this. He encourages you to follow his progress online at his website: www.paulgiffney.uk \nRosemary Sturge is a Northampton author of historical novels and short stories. She has written six books so far\, including 'Northampton 1290' and her latest\, set in the North of England 'Clouds Over Bowland'. \nLorna Tidbury is the author of Finding Home\, shortlisted for Debut Novel of the Year 2026 by the Romantic Novelists Association. Her second novel\, Sisters of the Tide will be published on 25th August 2026. Both novels are set in Cornwall and tell tales of love\, loss\, betrayal and revenge – a perfect mix of romance\, mystery and suspense set against the dramatic Cornish coastline. Lorna lives in Northamptonshire with her husband and family and when not writing\, she enjoys visiting Cornwall\, wrestling with her garden and trying to keep up with her expanding still-to-be-read pile of books. \n60 Miles presents: Community Comics centres the often-overlooked local communities who exist outside the mainstream narrative of Northants’ rich social heritage. Six local community groups were paired with six Comic Book Artists & Writers to capture the range of experiences that make up the place we all call home through an exciting range of perspectives\, forms and styles. All of the material has been collated into a single\, stunning 116-page collection\, uniting Northants’ experiences together for people now and in the future.
