Our Local Writers Night, ran in partnership with Burnley Words Festival, is a warm, welcoming evening of live writing, open to both performers and audiences.

Across the night, writers share short readings of poetry, spoken word and prose, with each performer taking the stage for around five minutes. The event is fast-paced, varied and supportive, making it just as enjoyable to watch as it is to take part.

Want to perform?Performance slots are booked in advance via a simple sign-up form. We aim to make space for as many people as possible, and everyone gets an equal slot on the night. Whether it’s your first time reading in public or you’re an experienced writer trying out new work, you’re very welcome.

Spaces can fill up, so a waiting list may operate, and performers are usually confirmed around two weeks before the event.

Apply to perform here: https://forms.gle/P7URKCQAuMGeScPu8

Just want to come along?You don’t have to be a writer to attend. Many people come simply to listen, support friends, or enjoy an evening of live writing in a relaxed atmosphere. You’re very welcome to come on your own, and we encourage audiences to stay for the whole night so every reader has the same supportive crowd.

Tickets are Pay What You Decide. Please book a ticket in advance. You can reserve a free ticket and pay on the night, or donate in advance if you’d prefer.

Front Room Event

Join us for a powerful film screening of Carol of the Bells (Shchedryk), a poignant historical drama in Burnley

Shchedryk (Carol of the Bells) is a historical feature film directed by Olesia Morgunets-Isaienko (122 minutes), presented in Ukrainian with English subtitles.

At the heart of the story is the world-famous Ukrainian melody Shchedryk, composed by Mykola Leontovych and known internationally as Carol of the Bells — a melody familiar to millions around the world, but whose Ukrainian origins are still not widely known.

The film follows the intertwined lives of Ukrainian, Polish, Jewish and Russian characters during the turbulent years of the 20th century, shaped by Soviet repression, Nazi occupation and war. Through the experiences of families and children, the film explores how dignity, compassion and human warmth can survive even in the most difficult circumstances.

This special screening is part of the International Ukrainian Film Marathon for Children's Day, bringing Ukrainian stories to audiences around the world and drawing attention to the experiences of children affected by war.

🎬 Ukrainian with English subtitles | 122 minutes

Suggested audience: 16+

Organiser: KRYLA Culture CIC

Scott Bennett: Blood Sugar Baby ❤

One family, one condition, one hell of a hairy baby… Scott Bennett from Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance and The News Quiz tells the amazing true story of how his daughter fell ill with a rare genetic condition, congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). Never heard of it? Neither had Scott and Jemma.

‘What’s so rare and satisfying is how all the jokes go hand in hand with the seriousness of the situation. It’s a wonderfully hopeful, often hilarious show from a properly funny man’ - The Times ★★★★

‘Fabulous turn of phrase, superb character creations‘ - Chortle ★★★★

‘Stardom is surely just one punchline away‘ - Evening Standard ★★★★

Yes, it’s a story about an ill baby, but it’s a very funny one with a happy ending, as new parents Scott and Jemma fight to get the right diagnosis for their daughter and are plunged into months of bewildering treatment, sleepless nights, celebrity encounters and bizarre side effects.

Public quotes for Blood Sugar Baby include:

"Beautifully written and funny in all the right places. Brilliant" - Jim Hansen

"A real rollercoaster of emotions, but absolutely brilliant" - Jennifer Brady

"One of the best shows we've ever seen, an amazing show, laughter and tears, it was just brilliant" - Lee Gray

"Genuinely hilarious and heartwarming, reminding us of the power of being able to make light of bad situations" - George Couch

"So relatable and emotional for us as fellow blood sugar parents, for anyone who hasn't seen it, I 100% recommend it!" - The CHI Charity

"An amazing mix of comedy and Drama" - Daniel Smith

"An engaging, heartfelt and emotional journey, turned into a comedy masterclass" - Mike Pierrepoint

"What an amazing story and unique way of telling it, belly laughs and a tear at the end" - Phil Phillips
