Dead Good Poetry will take place on 8 October 2026 at Bootleg Social in Blackpool. This event features a range of poets performing their works in a lively atmosphere. Tickets are available from free to £11.55.
Get ready for a night of killer verses and wicked vibes with some seriously dead good poets dropping their best lines.
Join Dead Good Poetry founders and spoken word poets Amy Harris and Nathan Parker to explore grief and loss through poetry.
The evening unfolds in two halves. First, sit back and listen as Amy and Nathan share some of their work, exploring bereavement as well as the loss of relationships, places, and past versions of ourselves. Then, pick up a pen for a guided writing session, with no experience needed and no pressure to share. If you’d prefer to listen and not participate, that’s fine too. We’ll think about significant objects and mixed emotions – and also try some writing games.
We’d love for you to join us.
