Youth Lates: Spoken Word

Performance

Youth Lates, a Galway City Council Night-Time Economy initiative, in partnership with Galway City Council Creative Ireland Programme, Music Generation Galway City, Youth Work Ireland Galway, Galway City Comhairle na nÓg, and Galway Arts Centre| Nuns Island Theatre, is thrilled to announce a brand new project: Youth Lates: Spoken Word!

Join spoken word artists Mars Duignan and Liam McBrearty for a series of six dynamic and engaging workshops designed to take you on a journey from developing your ideas to writing and performing your own powerful pieces. Whether you are already writing all the time or simply curious about what poetry is all about, this is your chance to find your voice and share what matters to you.

The workshops will culminate in a special Youth Lates Showcase on the Youth Lates Stage as part of Cruinniú na nÓg 2025 on Saturday, June 7th at Fr. Burke Park! This is your chance to share your newly-crafted spoken word pieces with a live audience.

Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to experience the vibrant energy and creativity of Galway’s young people as they take centre stage in Fr. Burke Park for Youth Lates! There will be sign-ups at the door for the Open Mic session, as well as pre-booking at the link below.
