HOW TO SLAM: ‘Performer Tickets’ are now SOLD OUT for 6th Jan. If you’d like to come along as an audience member and be on the slam reserve list, please let us know at the door on the night . Often, a couple of slammers can’t make it, so it’s definitely worth a go! If you are performing in the slam, please prepare an original poem of 3 minutes or less (no music, no props). Any style, any theme, anything you want! It doesn’t have to be memorised and you’re more than welcome to read from paper/your phone.
Please be aware the performance space is in a basement which is only accessible via a flight of stairs. There is space to store wheelchairs / a mobility scooter on the ground floor. Assistance dogs are welcome.
