Space Inside Poetry Competition

The Space Inside team is taking a break for the summer.

We will be back in October with more performers and our great magazine - if we can raise the funds!

In the meantime, here are details of our fund-raising poetry competition:

The Space Inside are running their first poetry competition, which is open to all ages.

All you have to do is write a poem inspired by the words ‘the space inside’.

The poem can be about anything from the space inside your head, to the space inside a box.

Let your imagination go wild!

The winner will receive a hamper crammed with lots of chocolate, wine and other goodies. The runner-up will receive a smaller hamper crammed with just as delicious goodies. Both poems will be published in the Space Inside journal and on our blog.

Keep those creative juices working during the summer months and help us raise funds for our next Space Inside season.

Send your entries with fee of €5,

which covers a max of three poems (max 30 lines each) to:

Anne Graham, The Space Inside, 1 Rocky Road, Wicklow Town, Co. Wicklow.

Deadline: Friday 10^th September

Open Mic Session

You are invited to The Space Inside’s first ever Open Mic Live Night ‘On the Roof’. Weather permitting, the last night of our season will be held on the roof of the Wicklow Sailing Club.

Musicians, poets and singers are welcome to strut their stuff under the stars. Maybe you have already performed at a Live Night or are just gathering up your courage to perform that special song or poem . Either way, you can take one minute or ten of centre stage - the choice is yours.

Always an appreciative audience at the Space Inside, you will not find a friendlier space to perform.
