We're Bread & Butter Poetry Slam! Join us every first Thursday of the month* for poems, feelings and laughs in a safe and inclusive space :)
What is a poetry slam?
A poetry slam is an open mic for poetry where the points matter. Judges are randomly selected from the audience to determine our slam champion for each month. Sign up to perform an original poem on the night, or just come be part of our audience.
