Absolute stars! 🤩⭐️
When moral was getting a little low & we were getting quite tired the perfect pick me up presented itself at the exact right time on Saturday. The kids at @RightsCommunity absolutely smashed it & were @Tom_Stocks highlight of the festival
Broken lifts meant our words blossomed in the garden
Because of the broken lift it meant we changed our plans slightly, so instead of the engine room we performed in the beautiful @spinnersmillleigh community garden instead & it was an absolutely stunning way to end our festival
Wow what a day! 🤪🥵
Well we did it, we survived the festival! 30 stall holders, 10 stages/ events across 4 floors, 1 broken lift & 2 exhausted organisers in Tom & Carla.
Thank you so much to everyone that attended & participated...
Brilliant day representing @NatterBolton for the @MicAtTheMill festival yesterday alongside @archaeologyBoy
Great to read at the historic Spinner’s Mill and listen to poetry in a record shop 💛

I was so busy lugging amps, mics, chairs, people around I actually barely saw any poetry or took any pictures, but the feedback has been overwhelming & I've stolen some of our wonderful participants pictures to give you a taste of the wonderful day we had.
Also thank you to all the talented participants who smashed it, all the tenants that welcomed our acts into their homes & all the poetry organisations who put together phenomenal line ups
We had hiccups but it really was a special day, can't believe we actually pulled off something that big on the resources we had. Thats all down to the kindness & hard work of the community at the Mill, who helped so much on the lead up & on the day. So thank you to the team
I worked out we must have had over 300 people pass through the mill today for the festival in participaants, performers & audience members combined. Some audiences poured out onto the corridor as we couldn't fit everyone in 1 venue.
An incredible day at @SpinnersMill! Makers market full of amazing things, seeing inside the studios of the talented artists in @CreativeSpinSt1, and @MicAtTheMill poetry festival so popular we were spilling into the corridors! This mill is such a creative and cultural hub! 🧡
Thank you @NatterBolton for inviting me to be a guest performer at the first @MicAtTheMill Festival at @SpinnersMill! Such an unusual and interesting space to explore, and I heard some brilliant poetry ✨
