ONEONESIX Poetry Evening in Whangarei

What Makes This Poetry Gathering Special

Poetry lovers and first-timers alike find a warm, supportive space at POET@ONEONESIX. Participants share their own work or simply listen, knowing every contribution is met with encouragement. The friendly group meets for two hours, giving everyone time to read, reflect, and chat afterwards. Entry is by koha, so you contribute what feels right. No prior experience is needed; all ages are welcome, and the evening is child-friendly, making it easy to bring grandchildren along. The relaxed setting helps people connect over words and stories, building friendships within the local community. Whether you have written for years or are trying poetry for the first time, the focus stays on enjoyment and mutual support rather than performance pressure.
