A mix of thirty live performances with a story to tell, this annual fortnight-long festival is now in full swing with new work by established artists, rising talents and home-grown performers.

This year’s event shines the spotlight on themes of home, heritage, mental health, politics and musical journeys, with highlights including a Poetry Slam for 16-25 year-olds, performance poet John Hegley, and With A Little Bit of Luck, an ace sounding event transporting the audience back to the garage raves of their youth.

A hub space becomes home to emerging artists and works-in-progress from established performers such as NW5 girl Salena Godden.

The Last Word runs until 10th June, tickets are available here. Chalk Farm Road NW1
