Three Sixty Festival
Roundhouse Poetry Slam Heats 2026
In partnership with Taylor Wessing.
The Roundhouse Poetry Slam is one of our most anticipated spoken word events and one of the highlights of the Three Sixty festival.
First taking to the stage in 2006, it brings together the most exciting voices in spoken word. After battling through seven national heats, poets will put their original work to the test, leading to the Final in our Main Space — where one will be crowned Roundhouse Slam Champion.
Support your local poets at the national heats happening across the UK and online:
- Leeds |Hyde Park Book Club – Tue 24 February, 7:30PM

- Online Heat – Tue 3 March, 7:30PM

Join us in championing the next wave of spoken word talent. Who will rise to the top?
