Join us for the Bristol Heat of the prestigious Roundhouse Poetry Slam competition.
The event brings together emerging spoken word artists from across the UK to compete for a cash prize and the coveted title of Slam Champion 2024. The event will feature special guest judges Vanessa Kisuule, Chris Redmond and Deanna Rodger.
The Roundhouse has a trailblazing five-year partnership with international law firm Taylor Wessing. A well-known supporter of the arts, and with the Roundhouse specifically over the past few years, Taylor Wessing is the principal partner, including their dedicated support of the Poetry Slam.
The event is presented in collaboration with regular poetry night Raise the Bar, and hosted by Danny Carlo Pandolfi.
