Slam is back! This is big and loud poetry at its very best. Come stomp, holler, and cheer for your favourite as Hawke's Bay's top spoken word artists perform for your votes. Ten local poets will compete for random audience votes and by the end of the night we will have crowned a brand new Hawke's Bay Poetry Slam Champion for 2023!

This is our sixth year bringing the slam to Hawke's Bay, and we're delighted to be co-producing with the thriving Hastings poetry community Common Poets' Society.

Doors are at 6.30pm for a 7pm start, bring your friends and whānau! GET YOUR TICKETS FROM HUMANITIX.
