York Meet

ABCtales is gathering for its next evening of poetry and prose at The Black Swan, York in July. Last year, this was a fantastic laid back evening packed with quality literary entertainment over a few beers.

Do join us if you can on Wednesday 8th July at 7pm, The Black Swan, 23 Peasholme Green, North Yorkshire YO1 7PR.  Bring a friend. Blow it, bring two. York is a gorgeous historical city to visit and it’s the perfect excuse to get summer kick-started. There are limited double guest rooms available at The Black Swan (£110) should you need overnight accommodation but do book early to avoid disappointment as they get filled sharpish. I'll update the thread with alternative local hotel details soon.

If you fancy reading your own work in York, please email me at ray@abctales.com. In terms of timing, readers usually get 5-7 minutes each and there is always a reserve list of readers. If you haven’t read before, it’s a supportive, warm audience with a fine variety of work to suit all tastes. We look forward to seeing you! 

I won’t do the ‘be there or be square’ line, it’s so damn tedious and really not my thing. Do shout up if you have any queries.

Thanks,
