Information - National Poetry Day

SoapBox Spoken Word CIC presents a National Poetry Day 2024 special edition of ‘Words & Verses’, our regular free entry spoken word open mic in Ipswich.
Held at The Steamboat, 7-10pm, this event welcomes all kinds of spoken word, from poetry to rap, comedy to storytelling.
Hosted by Amy Wragg, this special ‘National Poetry Day’ edition of Words & Verses is a friendly, fun and unapologetically honest event that celebrates words & language in all its glorious shapes. We equally welcome covers & originals. Bring a favourite poem to share, or something you’ve written yourself. No snobbery here.
W&V is also the most beautiful event in the region. Always adorned by unique handmade artwork made from recycled materials, and glittering with tons of fairy lights.
To book a spot (5-10mins each) either turn-up at the event on the day and sign-up on the sheet (spaces are always kept free for on-the-day sign-ups), or email to reserve in advance.

Pride in Place

You Don’t Need To Be An Expert To Get Involved In Pride in Place

One of the biggest misconceptions about community projects is that they're only for people with impressive CVs, professional backgrounds or years of experience sitting on committees. The Pride in Place programme - a government investment for Whitehouse and Stoke Park/Chantry of £20m into each area over 10 years - is trying to change that.
