After a stellar debut, Slamchester is back at 53Two for Round Two – and this time it’s going to be even bigger, bolder, and louder.
Eight incredible poets will go head-to-head in a high-energy battle of words, wit, and rhythm, competing for the title of Slamchester Champion. Expect punchy performances, passionate voices, and an atmosphere like no other.
And that’s not all… we’re thrilled to welcome reigning Slamchester Champion Biz Bond back to the stage for a special headline performance.
Plus, the Lucky Dip open mic. Sign up on the night for a chance to step up and shine in a welcoming, supportive space.
Hosted by four-time UK Slam finalist Kieren King.

How the Lucky Dip Open Mic Works at SLAMCHESTER
Sign-up is on the night.
If you'd like to read, just pop your name in the hat at the venue. Please note: a spot is not guaranteed, as names will be drawn at random on stage.
The open mic starts after the second round of the slam, while scores are being calculated (approx. 9:30pm start).
It will run until 9:50pm or until scoring is complete, whichever is later.
Each poet gets one poem only.
This helps us get as many voices on stage as possible.
No hard time limit, but we recommend pieces between 1 and 3 minutes to give everyone a fair chance to share their work.
No intros or preambles please.
Just state your name and the title of your piece, then jump right in.
