About this Event

Spoken Here is an inclusive, collective poetry showcase bringing together poets from West Yorkshire and beyond for an evening of live performance, conversation, and creative connection.


Featuring the poets: Sharena Lee Satti, Mohamed Saloo, Jamie H Scrutton, Lence, Lauren and Jodie.


Step into a space where poetry is shared, heard, and celebrated. Experience powerful performances, ask the poets questions about their work, and take part in gentle, interactive activities. Whether you’re a seasoned writer, a first-time listener, or simply curious, there’s room here for everyone.


This is a friendly, welcoming space to listen, learn, and maybe even discover your own voice. Come as you are, leave inspired.


Sharena Lee Satti is a Bradford-based poet, mentor and festival curator with more than 10 years of experience working across schools, community organisations and cultural programmes. She is the founder of Sisterverse Festival and champions inclusive spaces where creativity and connection thrive.
