About Piece of Work - Poetry at BMAG

Poetry and spoken word arrives at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in the form of Piece of Work: Birmingham's premiere poetry night, featuring acclaimed, world-renowned poets, as well as an open mic at one of Birmingham’s most beautiful and unique venues: the historic Tearoom at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.

Enjoy a pre-show museum wander through our Level 2 galleries and grab a drink before settling in to enjoy the show. 

Each Piece of Work will feature two headline acts: a ‘local legend’ poet based in the Midlands, alongside an ‘honorary Brummie’ for the evening, from anywhere in the world.

Local Legend - Casey Bailey

Honorary Brummie - to be revealed soon, watch this space. 

Sign-ups for the open mic will be taken on the door, and are only valid with a ticket to the event.

Doors open at 6 pm, close at 6:45 pm, and the show starts at 7 pm.

This show is part of a brand new poetry night at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery - catch us on the last Thursday of selected months.
