Thursday, October 2nd 2025, marked the fifth iteration of IT’S YOUR SHOUT! SproutSpoken’s much-loved open-air celebration of spoken word, hosted at Newquay’s iconic Huer’s Hut in honour of National Poetry Day.

Against a dramatic coastal backdrop and beneath the evening lights, voices rose in rhythm and resonance as poets, performers and first-timers came together to celebrate poetry.

Now in its seventh year, SproutSpoken has grown from humble beginnings in Sprout Health Foods into a vibrant, creative movement that has ignited Cornwall’s spoken word scene. It has connected countless people through performance, confidence and community, from intimate indoor gatherings to bold outdoor happenings along the Cornish coast.
