AUGUST UPDATE: Looking for Fringe shows? Try the Edinburgh Fringe website or check out my friend Gavin’s site Fringe Picks. Plus there are lots of free poetry events at PBH’s Free Fringe. This calendar will continue to cover regular/non-festival poetry events in Edinburgh during August.
This is a list of poetry open mics, poetry readings, poetry shows, poetry book launches, poetry slams, and other poetry events in Edinburgh. It’s a work in progress from my notes, and feedback is most welcome!
Looking for a specific type of event? You can filter for
poetry shows in Edinburgh,
or any other categories you see tagged at the bottom of an event page.
For more writing events (poetry + more) in Edinburgh and across Scotland, I recommend Naomi Head’s newsletter: The Good Egg Project.
This is not a list of gigs I’m doing. This is a resource for the poetry community in Edinburgh. If you’d like to know my whereabouts, here are my upcoming live show dates (sometimes poetry, sometimes other things).
If you run a poetry event in Edinburgh, or if you know about one I’ve missed, please let me know. I’d love to list every poetry event in Edinburgh on this calendar.
Also, if my description of an event is incorrect or needs more detail, please get in touch below.
