Cambridge Series Poetry Readings Jan 26th

The next in the Cambridge Series Poetry Readings takes place this Thursday January 26th at St John's College (New Music Room, First Court) at 8pm.

Linh Dinh, Randolph Healy and Fiona Sampson will be reading, tickets are £3/£2 concessions, and wine will be served. At that price, it sounds too good to pass up if you're in that part of the world, especially if there's going to be wine!

DIRECTIONS:
The New Music Room is in First Court, St John's College. Entrance to the college will be through the forecourt entrance, past the porters lodge, turn left and move into Second court, turn left and move into First court.
Here is a map of the location of the college, and here is a map of the college itself.
