Presenting Medway River Lit 2026!
⭐ LOCAL WORDS, WILD PLACES: A Nature Open Mic feat poet Ayesha Chouglay
13 Nov 2026, 19:00 – 21:00
Chatham
⭐ Join poet Ayesha Chouglay for an evening of poetry, place, and nature.
Ayesha will share poems born from her Creative Fellowship with Plantlife and Accentuate, inspired by Ranscombe Nature Reserve, and centred on access to nature. Alongside an open mic for local voices, the evening explores our relationships with the natural world - from its past and present to the future we want to create.
Come along to listen, share your own words, and connect with others over good food and drink. We will be providing BSL interpretation, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Please let us know if you have any other needs.

Ranscombe Connect is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to create new opportunities for people to connect with Ranscombe Farm Reserve, including this Creative Fellowship exploring the landscape, its stories and how more people can experience and feel connected to nature.
