Join SoapBox for a very special edition of Words & Verses, as part of the glorious, inaugural edition of the Ipswich Book Festival.

Held at CHIp studio 16 Turret Lane, it'll be everything you love about SoapBox with some extra bookish joy thrown in to celebrate this amazing new Festival. Check out the full programme of events on their website >>> HERE <<<

Proudly brought to you by SoapBox Spoken Word CIC, the only legally registered spoken word non-profit company across the East. SoapBox started promoting, producing and championing poetry & spoken word in 2006, so we have been creating fantastic, inclusive and authetic poetry events for 19 years. 

Words & Verses is our longest running event, starting in 2012 at The Spread Eagle, and taking place monthly, it was Ipswich's first dedicated & regular spoken word open mic. We are now rapidly approaching our 100th edition! We are delighted that W&V is no longer the only poetry event in town, and adore how vibrant our local spoken word community is.
