A live poetry competition like no other! Three rounds in the classic Bake Off format - Signature, Technical and Showstopper poems
About this Event

Poetry Bake Off spreads the plum jam of Poetry into Bake Off’s tiered sponge.

Five poets go head to head over three rounds: Signature, Technical & Showstopper.


Will their words on the page rise to the challenge?

Will their formal skill be worthy of a handshake?

Will their performances reveal a soggy bottom?


Your hosts Tina Sederholm and Andy Melhuish will be mixing up the fun and keeping your ovens hot. Featuring stars of the poetry world – special guest judges Vanessa Lampert and Glyn Maxwell as our very own Prue and Paul.

Join us for the most delicious poetry event of the year!

*please note: no actual baking will take place*
