Are you a young poet looking to move to the next step in your career? Want to start hosting or facilitating, but don't know how? We got you.

Join us for our open day on Saturday 13 July, 2pm-5pm to learn more.

Meet fellow young poets, write and share some poetry, and learn all about the opportunities The Take Over is offering.

The Take Over is looking for ambitious young poets 16-26 to join our summer development programme. Through weekly workshops from July to September, you will design and host your own unique live poetry event at The White House, Dagenham, developing key skills and contacts every modern poet needs. The Take Over is free and open to young poets at all levels of experience.
