The National Slam Final

Plenty of people manage to make a career out of being clever with words, but only very special word artists are so quick-witted and eloquent that they can enter into the verbal battle of a poetry slam. The audience will decide who wins The National Slam Final which takes place in the Loading Bay, a pop-up venue beneath the Royal Albert Hall. South London poet and rapper Kate Tempest will appear as a featured artist, and those lined up to compete have been chosen from a series of regional events. Book in advance.
