Talking Zebras was founded in 2012 to promote enjoyment of the spoken word.
Beginning at the Commercial, then moving to the Wickham Arms in 2017.
We now meet on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month at the Rose & Crown in Cleckheaton and online (Zoom) on the 5th Saturday where there is one in the month.
At our core, we have our friendly meetings, lasting about 2 hours, held twice a month on a Saturday afternoon. Over our time, we've also enjoyed part in charity fundraisers as well as local Literature, Folk and Arts Festivals.
We're a diverse group who enjoy a wide range of spoken word, and we rarely hear fewer than 50 pieces being read in a typical session.
Each round gives those who attend up to 5 minutes to share their chosen pieces & we also offer our members and visitors the opportunity to do a 15-minute "spot light" spot - these are pre-arranged, so please contact us in advance if you're interested in performing.
We are always on the lookout for new opportunities to perform, and of course for new members (speakers and listeners alike) - so why not get in touch?
You can email us at [email protected], or just come along and join us at a meeting - we don't bite (usually!)
