Bristol vs Clevedon vs Exeter vs Weston! It’s a poetry showdown like no other!

Last year’s winners Exeter will take on teams from Bristol, Weston and Clevedon. Slammers from each of the teams will take to the stage to battle it out in the hopes of impressing the audience and winning the title of South West Showdown Champions!

Join us at The Wardrobe Theatre for an energetic evening of impressive wordsmithery and good-spirited competitiveness, hosted by Sophie Shepherd.

Presented in collaboration with Super Culture, Rhyme Against the Tide and Spork Poetry.
