Join us for a night of storytelling and creative expression brought to you by Words of a Feather!

All are welcome to put their name in the hat to share writing and stories in any format (max. 5 minutes). All are also welcome to simply enjoy a wonderful night of readings.

2026 Themes:

February: BEGINNINGS
April: ROOTS
June: SPARK
August: POWER
October: METAMORPHOSIS

Story Soirées are held on the 3rd Friday of the month, every second month.

Bookings are essential.

Structure:

6.30 - 7pm: Doors open. Mingle, settle in, grab yourself a drink. Put your name into the reading hat (completely optional)!
7 - 9pm: Doors close, and the readings begin! There will be a short break about halfway through.
The Soirée will conclude with a brief closing message from Words of a Feather, and time to chat with new and old friends.
