The Biggest Poetry Slam of the Summer!
We're throwing a poetry party for the summer! And what better way to celebrate the poetry world than to welcome even more poets to our stage and put a massive £100 cash prize on the line to for the night!
Doors: 7:00pm
Start: 7:30pm
End: 10:30pm (please respect our neighbours and leave quietly!)
WANT TO SLAM?
We have 8 slots we're giving out in advance, first come first serve.
Buying one of our ‘Slammer’ tickets guarantees you a spot in the slam.
If you miss those, we're saving a few spots for on the night. We'll pull a few names out of the hat at the start of the night.
Slam Rules:
One Night Slam is a Two Round poetry slam, every competing poet performs twice.
Slammers will have a 3 minute time limit with a 10 second grace period, after that they'll start to be deducted points.
Must be your own work.

- Slots are 3 minutes long with a 10 second grace period. Beyond that you will start to lose points. We ask that you leave the stage as soon as you can after this as we'd like to get all of our performers on and finish the night at a respectable time.
