What's On

At Apples and Snakes we raise the profile of spoken word and push the boundaries of the artform through producing and curating live events and creative digital content, working extensively in partnership and commissioning and touring new writing.

We nurture spoken word artists, providing guidance and support from our staff team, mentoring and shadowing opportunities, critical feedback, a wide range of masterclasses and more in-depth professional development projects and programmes at a regional and national level.

Participation is at the heart of our work at Apples and Snakes, with projects and programmes involving schools, libraries, prisons, hospitals and other settings, with a focus on disenfranchised voices, marginalised communities and those at risk.

The Spoken Word Archive

Preserving a cultural heritage that has reflected and influenced many social and political movements over the last 30-plus years including rare sound and video recordings, photographs and press cuttings.
