A Weston café will host a night of competitive slam poetry later this month following the success of a trial event earlier this year.
Loves Weston, in West Street, have decided to launch Rhyme Against The Tide, based on the success of Culture Weston's Weston v Margate poetry slam which saw poets from the two seaside towns battle it out in wordform.
Weston-based poet Sophie Shepherd will host the evening which is set to include a strong line-up of spoken word super slammers who will lock words to be crowned the inaugural Rhyme Against The Tide slam winner.
Loves Weston will also offer an open bar as well as a vegetarian and vegan menu featuring vegan curries priced at £6 each.
The event will begin at 7.30pm on September 30 with tickets set to cost £5 plus a small booking fee.
