Extinction Rebellion Exeter is hosting its first climate-themed open mic night at Climate Action Hub Exeter on Saturday 11 March.

Performances will include poetry, music and readings as well as a sustainable farming report.

The event is taking place during the Extinction Rebellion 100 days campaign which began last month.

The campaign is focussed on a gathering of 100,000 people in Parliament Square on 21 April – an event Extinction Rebellion is describing as “The Big One”.

It is open from 10am-4pm most days and also provides meeting space for local environmental and social justice groups.
