Which city has the strongest selection of poets? Two captains lead a team to battle it out! Featuring Shannon O' Neill!

Two cities, both with a thriving spoken word poetry scene. What happens when they collide?

Come along to Drafted! for our October Deathmatch! Two teams will battle it out in a slam / mystery format to bring glory to their city! Featuring Shannon O' Neill who will be soon launching an album as part of her hip hop group Apocalypse Theorists.

To keep the event accessible, we are offering pay-what-you-can tickets with a minimum suggested donation of £5.

Your donations will help towards the following:

£5 helps us pay the feature an industry-standard rate

£7.50 helps us give a more substantial prize to the winning team alongside running costs.

£10+ covers all the above and helps act as a pay-it-forward for someone who might not be able to afford the event. Any profit we make will be reinvested into future Drafted! events.

If you are not in a position to pay, please message the Drafted! team and we'll reserve you a space with no questions asked.

For any additional information, please contact us on Instagram @draftededinburgh.
