Join us for the Glasgow Heat of the prestigious Roundhouse Poetry Slam competition. Bringing together emerging spoken word artists from across the UK to compete for a cash prize and the coveted title of Slam Champion 2023.

For the first time, the Roundhouse has a trailblazing new 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 has now joined as the principal partner and kicks off a new five-year partnership with its support of the Roundhouse Poetry Slam. Their support will mean we can grow its reach, including hosting a heat in Liverpool for the first time – the city home to their second office – as well as heats in London, Glasgow and Cardiff.
