On the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, Speak the Word runs a poetry and spoken word writing workshop. We’re a friendly, inclusive and encouraging group. Whoever you are and whatever your relationship with poetry, we'd love you to join us.

Following on from an incredible series of poetry and spoken word workshops with Roundhouse Slam poet Rakaya Fetuga, through The Caraf Centre, several of us enjoyed the community so much that we decided to continue the sessions. The format remains the same, but London-based poet PJ Samuels opens the sessions with a wellbeing check-in and free write, and Devon-based poet nudi brings poems, artwork and prompts for inspiration.

There's no pressure to share what you write, so feel free to just come along and see how you like it! LGBTQI+ affirming.

Cost: free
