Good People Nice Times : Poetry Supper Club w/York LGBT Forum

 Join us for an evening of poetry, food + conversation. Raising funds and awareness for York LGBT Forum. Special guest poet Ian Humphreys

About this Event - TICKETS

Working towards a positive Social + Environmental impact, we are hosting a pop-up dinner series. This time, your host is York LGBT Forum.

In partnership with York CVS and Lewis & Duncan we are running a pop-up dinner series showcasing local charities & sustainable practices. We are working towards positive social + environmental impact collaborating/celebrating with local organisations & individuals AKA: good people doing good things.

With so much waste in the catering & events sector, we would like to raise awareness of being more sustainable at events. No single use items, no waste, compost leftovers where able & all décor and crockery will all be reusable.

The Evening:

Seated on communal tables, you'll be served a delicious array of seasonal Vegetarian sharing plates by York's very own 'Lewis & Duncan Catering'.

Special guest poet Ian Humphreys will be treating us to some readings of his work throughout the evening.

Communal Tables + Sharing Plates provide an Opportunity to connect with your community, sharing food & conversation.

There will be NO BAR to purchase drinks, but you are welcome to Bring Your Own Alcohol (glass bottles of wine & beer only).

At GPNT, we strive to be inclusive as possible & accessible for the community. For this reason, we have started a pay-it-forward ticket system. This is an opportunity to purchase a ticket for someone who is struggling financially & wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend. If you wish to buy someone dinner - select the 'pay it forward' ticket option.

Your Host: YORK LGBT FORUM

Offering support to LGBT+ people in York, the charity ensures that the rights and interests of LGBT people are represented in York and North Yorkshire.
