Another year closes, and we’re so grateful for another 12 months of love, support and poetry. You’ve been amazing. We can’t wait to spend another year with you—starting on January 15, with our next headliner R. M. Francis!

Happy holidays, my darlings, I hope it’s a gentle one for you # # #

Tonight’s Dear Listener packed a punch as it left 2025 for the shores of 2026.

A unique and brilliant blend of first-half open micers delivering myth, memory, and a dash of naughtiness combined to welcome new voices and regulars. Followed by the poet whose words pack a punch in the boxing arena of life Matt Windle as our headliner.
Feet are tired, eyes are sleepy, but Dear Listener is always dreamy.

Have a safe and loving Yule everyone # # #

I love a good bookshop, especially an independent one. But Script Haven is so much more than that.

It’s a safe place where people can find quiet to enjoy their latest read. It’s a haven for indie authors and publishers who need an outlet for their books. It’s a community project that looks to engage local organisations wherever and however it can. And it’s a set of opportunities, with talks, visiting authors, workshops and one-off special events that make Script Haven a vast and inclusive cultural hub of the Worcester community.

Now, does that sound like something we can afford to lose?

Script Haven is currently seeking a financial boost from its local community and supporters. I know, in a time where we can’t afford to buy, how can we afford to give? But literally anything, even the smallest of donations, could make a difference longterm. It isn’t about throwing £100 into the pot. It’s about sparing a few £s here and there wherever we can, to ensure that independent organisations like this one aren’t run out of town by the sharks in the water.

Please, if you can help in any way (yes, that includes sharing this post so more people become aware of the situation), the Script Haven team would be eternally grateful—as would the indie authors and publishers who have found a home here. All of the information on how to donate can be found on the Script Haven social media. 📚
