The Poetry Slam 2025

Event information

Tickets: Full - £10

In 2016 three poets held a meeting in a pub in Wolverhampton. They drank beer. They talked about poetry. They hatched plans. By the end of the evening, they’d decided that they should form a collective – Poets, Prattlers and Pandemonialists - and see where that led them. In 2017, it led them to their first full-length show at the Arena Theatre in Wolverhampton. They had a lot of fun. The audience did, too.

Fun is definitely what happens at the Shrewsbury Poetry Slam! Come along and watch 15 fantastic poets give amazing performances and help decide who wins! The prize is a performance spot at a future event!

Organised and hosted by the Poets, Prattlers and Pandemonialists, this is an event you do not want to miss! Their mission, that they have chosen to accept, is to convince the world that poetry is a bag of awesome wrapped up with a bow of wonder and to convince people to write and, hopefully perform, some poetry!
