Open Mic - January 2020
It's strange to think that one of our most recent Friends of Chorley Library events was the Open Mic night in January 2020 - way over a year ago! We helped out at a few library events before lockdown, but this was one of the last big night we hosted as the Friends group, complete with our legendary gin bar of course!
It's now been so long that we're starting to feel nostalgic for those times pre-lockdown when we could relax at the library with a stiff drink and watch some brilliant local talent perform for us, and we realised that we never shared any photos of the Open Mic night! It was an excellent evening, filled with singers, guitarists, poets, comedians and violinists too. The mood was just right, with dimmed lighting and atmospheric fairy-lights and lamps which, as per usual, were lent by members of the Friends of Chorley Library.
Thanks to everyone who came all that time ago, and for anyone who might be interested in the future, once things are properly back to normal we'll be talking about hosting more events - we can't wait!
We also held a raffle on the night - here is one of the lucky winners receiving her prize candle!
For these photos, we received permission where possible and on the night flyers & posters informed that photography was taking place - if you appear in a photo and would like it removed, please contact us and we'll remove it asap. Thanks!

Gin & Poetry at Chorley Library
Our gin and poetry night was an absolute joy! We had so many readers, from all walks of life, here in our library to bare their souls on stage for us!
We had such a huge variety of poetry, spoken word and short stories read out. Many from people who had written their own works, as well as a few who read their favourite poems for us all to enjoy. It was such a wonderful evening with a gorgeous atmosphere. We can't wait to host another one!
Chorley library looking mighty fine. This is a free event. Entertainment and support of local people. Libraries are so important pic.twitter.com/Jn08sbt2pE— Dom Conlon (@dom_conlon) June 28, 2019
