What is Pillow Society?

The Grand Pillow Society is a community-run storytelling night at the Grand Theatre in Groningen. We gather monthly to share stories, poems, and unplugged music in an intimate, living-room atmosphere.

Who performs?

Everyone. Beginners and seasoned storytellers, local musicians and visiting poets. We prioritise Groningen-based voices and historically underrepresented artists, but the stage has room for everyone.

The evening

Doors open at 17:00 for a community vegan dinner. Stories begin at 18:00. The night closes with an open mic — always room to share something live.
