Words Out Loud joins The Gatehouse Ballarat as part of the Picnic in the Cemetery event.

Poets, wordsmiths and raconteurs are invited to join in with 5-minute open mic spots available, with an optional theme of ‘‘gatekeepers”.

The event will be held on Saturday 22 May, 4-5pm, upstairs at The Gatehouse, at the Lydiard St entrance of the Ballarat New Cemetery, or, if the weather is delightful, outside in the courtyard. Refreshments available!

Tickets are free (gold coin donation appreciated) but seating is limited – please book here.
