Students and tutors from the Department of English and beyond read out their poems, flash fiction, short stories, personal essays and scripts at the latest open-mic night held on November 18th, with plenty of wine to keep warm on a cold dark autumn evening.
The event was brilliantly hosted by our three Pandora's Box student editors for 2019-20, Megan Coates, Katie-may Sayers and Georgia Wetherall, who handed out a series of prizes for some fun competitions at the end of the evening.
Prizes for Best Writing in response to a prompt to write on the theme of childhood were awarded to:
Arnas Tamasauskas First Prize
Alexandra Haymes Second Prize
Rosalind Saxon Third Prize
Prize for Best Poem overall was awarded to Alexandra Haymes (in photo below).

Open-mic nights are held on a regular basis and offer students and tutors the chance to get together, share creative writing, and relax.
