Ray Shipley's Late Night Poetry Hour

Ōtautahi Christchurch’s favourite nocturnal salon brings together cool visitors and hot locals for a memorable night of poetry, good feelings and staying up a bit too late in a special WORD Christchurch edition. The one and only Ray Shipley hosts Dominic Guerrera (Kaurna, Ngarrindjeri), Erik Kennedy, Kate Camp and Gabrielle Huria (Ngāi Tahu). And if you’re keen to have a go, step up for an open mic slot!

This event is part of WORD Christchurch, taking place on 27–31 August 2025. For more events and information, please visit wordchristchurch.co.nz.
