Scottish Poetry Slam Final Raises over £900 for Britannia Panopticon

The finalists take the stage with Aditya as he accepts his award and the title "Scottish Poetry Slam Champion 2026"

Aditya Narayan is our new Scottish Poetry Slam Champion for 2026, triumphing in a tightly fought contest at The Britannia Panopticon Music Hall on Saturday 14th February. Congratulations to Aditya and many thanks to all the poets, judges and helpers who made the event a sell-out success. Aditya has now been invited to take part in the World Series in Paris in May this year - and also to compete in the European Championships in Graz this November coming. Fame, travel, international opportunity, what more could you ask for!

Thank you to everyone involved for helping us raise another £900 to help keep the old music hall open to the public and the campaign going.
