You can also catch riotous spoken word show Tongue Fu, featuring Irvine Welsh, Beardyman and Hollie McNish, and Paines Plough's UK Garage-inspired With A Little Bit of Luck.
Fancy having a go yourself? Sign up for masterclasses, or get your own personalised poem at the poetry takeaway. Audio installations will be in place around the venue too.
