Our Host: The Milton Cafe

We are grateful to our hosts Ben and Merle at the Milton Cafe who graciously welcome us into their restaurant to hold our poetry gatherings each month. They also have allowed us to fill the walls of the café with a variety of paintings from local artists, many of which attend the Express the Arts evenings. Details about contacting the artists as well as prices can be seen by each picture. As always, there is always room for fresh paintings, photographs, poetry and artwork. Contact us if you would like to display a piece.

Milton Café (905 876 2559) is located on the west side of Ontario Street North (opposite Spokes and Slopes), just north of Main Street, going under the railway bridge.

The poetry evenings begin with the group gathering in the café at around 6:00pm to enjoy a delicious meal of curry, roti or samosas, washed down with wine, beer or Chai tea which is Ben’s speciality.Participants may phone ahead to preorder.

Open Mic poetry readings begin at 7:00pm on the last Friday of each month and continue until around 9:30pm.
