The Sydney Road Writer’s Contest and Cup – Poetry & Storytelling night is a warm and welcome break from the chilly winter work-week.

Last year, more than twenty-five poets and storytellers took to the stage at Edinburgh Castle Hotel to share their creative talents with an enthralled audience. The jam-packed event included touching biographical performances, fantastical recitals, and absurdly funny routines. Newcomers to spoken word had the chance to mingle with some of the community’s veteran performers, and take their first shot at the special cup alongside yearly competitors, all within a cheerful environment.
