Poetry Open Mic with Robert Garnham

Following his afternoon workshop, Robert Garnham hosts an open mic night in the museum on the opening evening of F.A.B. 2026. Bring a poem or two to read – new writers and regular performers alike – or simply come along to enjoy an evening of local voices in an unusual setting surrounded by Brixham’s history.

Garnham is one of the South West’s best-known spoken word performers, a slam winner whose comic, warm and often surreal LGBT poetry has taken him to festivals across the UK, and the poet behind Squidbox, his sequence about Brixham’s fishing fleet. Readers pay £3 and audience members £5. Booking is essential through the museum, which is in the Old Police Station on New Road.
