Event Details

Wellingtonians are invited to develop their palate for poetry at Poquito Cafe & Bar on Sunday the 23rd of June. 

Whisky & Words offers an array of spirited delights from Poquito Cafe & Bar and some of Wellington’s most exciting poets. On the night, each poet will present a whisky from the night’s tasting flight and perform a poem inspired by their drink (plus a few of their best pieces). You will be served a range of five whiskys and five poets and are sure to find some new favourites of both! There will also be nibbles.

Whisky & Words is produced and MC'd by local poetry legend and whisky lover Kate Spencer (NZ Fringe Tour Award Winner, 2019). Her curated line-up features more than a tipple of talent; with poetry from Jordan Hamel (NZ Slam Poetry Winner 2018) Alayne Dick, Sharn Maree, Tarns Hood (Wellington Slam Poetry Finalists 2018) and Sara Hirsch (UK Slam Champ 2013). 

There are only 32 tickets for this winter warmer, so get in quick.
