TAP's Creative Hub: This new format TAP evening is designed to bring artist, performers and musicians together in a relaxed and open atmosphere. The Creative Hub will include a feature between 7 and 9 pm (as we have done in the past), now called the Hotspot, and then from 9 to 11.30 pm Freeplay Mix (music jamming session) upstairs and The Voicebox (poetry, creative writing and comedy open mic) downstairs, plus relaxed chat elsewhere in the pub.

The Hotspot feature this month will be a Creative Showcase. This is an opportunity for you to tell the rest of us a bit about your artistic endeavours. Bring along an example of your work and talk for up to two minutes if you want. We can use the whole pub to display so you can use one of the tables or bring along an easel.

At the KING CHARLES INN, Thames Street, Old Town, Poole BH15 1JN. £3 entry but free for Freeplay and Voicebox participants.

Sun 21 Feb Freeplay Chill: A relaxed jamming session for musicians, vocalists and performance artists. Experiment, learn from each other, and develop as musicians. Bring your own instruments and music. All abilities and styles welcome. It takes place from 7 to 10 pm at the King Charles Inn, Thames Street, Poole BH15 1JN. Free entry.
