Loud Poets brings spoken word to Edinburgh on 2 July

The Loud Poets Spoken Word Showcase was listed for 2 July at the Scottish Storytelling Centre on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, with tickets priced from £10.00 to £12.00 per person plus booking fee.

The source listing did not publish a start time, so anyone planning around the event would need to check the booking page before making firm plans. The event is aimed at a general audience and centres on spoken word poetry with live musical accompaniment.

Spoken word on the Royal Mile

Loud Poets has spent more than 10 years presenting spoken word poetry from Scotland and beyond, according to the Forever Edinburgh event listing. July’s showcase brought that format to the Scottish Storytelling Centre, a venue at 43 High Street, Edinburgh EH1 1SR.

The billing described the night as a mix of fist-thumping, heart-wrenching and side-tickling poetry performances. That range matters for readers deciding whether the event fits their evening: this was not listed as a quiet reading or a single-author talk, but as a performance-led spoken word showcase with music as part of the experience.

Date, venue and ticket details

For local readers, the Royal Mile location places the showcase in one of Edinburgh’s most familiar cultural corridors. The Scottish Storytelling Centre setting also gives the event a natural fit: a spoken word night built around voice, rhythm and live presence in a venue associated with storytelling.

Four featured performers on the bill

The July lineup named Emma Atrim, Spencer Mason, Kareem Parkins-Brown and Diz Undone. The source did not list individual set times or running order, so the strongest confirmed detail is the roster itself.

The format is likely to appeal to people who already follow spoken word performance, poetry nights and live literature in Edinburgh, as well as audiences looking for a cultural event that is more direct and performance-focused than a conventional reading.

Access at the Scottish Storytelling Centre

The event listing included several access details for the Scottish Storytelling Centre. It said there is level access to all spaces in the building, including the theatre, and described the venue as wheelchair friendly.

Accessible toilets are available, and the ground floor accessible toilet has baby changing facilities. Assistance dogs are welcome at the venue.

The confirmed listing information came from Forever Edinburgh’s event page for Loud Poets Spoken Word Showcase. The booking prompt on the listing said “Book now,” with prices shown at £10.00 to £12.00 per person plus booking fee.
