Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    Offener Gartentag im Naturerlebnisgarten

    On our "Open Garden Days," we warmly invite everyone to stroll through our beautiful nature experience garden. Discover the diverse habitats within our garden and experience firsthand the rich biodiversity among the ponds, orchard, and wildflowers. Our hammocks invite you to relax, our information board always offers interesting materials about nature and climate protection to take away, you can purchase honey from our beekeeper, and perhaps have a chat or two about organic gardening with our volunteers.

    You can also rent canoes as part of our "canoe4nature" project and help clean up the canals in Wilhelmsburg Island Park. #canoe4nature

    Olivia Jones’ BUNNY BURLESQUE Show

    The St. Pauli "must-see": With steamy shows at "BUNNY BURLESQUE," Olivia revives the golden era of the Kiez. A touch risqué, yet always classy and with a wink. International stars of the burlesque scene take the stage (Stella Lake, Lady Lasagna, Candy Pia, Setty Mois, Masha Champanskaya, and many more). Even Dita Von Teese—Hollywood’s number one burlesque star—has visited the Bunny Burlesque, and the venue has hosted celebrities such as Udo Lindenberg, Dolly Buster and many others.

    Burlesque is an art form that celebrates the act of undressing rather than nudity itself. Through their art, burlesque dancers tell short stories; they never reveal everything, as imagination is often more arousing than the bare facts.

    Since 2026, men have also been part of the show, joining our sultry female dancers.

    Show duration: approx. one hour; no intermission; age 18+ only.

    IMPORTANT: Doors open approx. 30 minutes before the show. Tickets not claimed by 5 minutes before the event start time will be forfeited and may be resold at the door.

    Only the Illusion Counts

    In this special magic show, everything revolves around the subtle art of deception. With wit, charm, and precise performance, Wittus Witt, Germany's renowned magician leads his audience to the boundary between reality and illusion. He reveals nothing—yet everything seems obvious. An evening that proves: truth is a matter of perspective. What counts is what becomes visible in the illusion.

    The Zauber-Salon is located inside the Bellachini Museum, Germany’s only cultural history museum dedicated to the art of magic. Evening guests are welcome to visit the museum from 7:15 p.m. at no extra charge.

    Parkour holiday kids camp in Hamburg Nord

    In August 2026, Simon Pouly and his team are running a parkour holiday camp at the brand-new parkour hall of Fight and Flight Movement Centre.

    Two full weeks of parkour and other activities await kids aged 8 to 14 — Monday to Friday, 3–7 August and 10–14 August 2026 — no prior experience needed.

    The day starts with a flexible drop-off between 8 and 9 am. Mornings are dedicated to parkour training: vaults, balance, jumps, rolls and much more. Obstacles get tackled in all kinds of ways and with a lot of fun. Those who already know the basics get tips and tricks to sharpen their technique; complete beginners are introduced to the sport gently and at their own pace. By the end of the week, participants can take our "Parkour Licence" test and will be ready to join our free training sessions and open sessions.

    After a shared lunch (freshly prepared on-site and included in the price), the afternoons offer plenty of variety: free parkour training, trying out grappling with our BJJ black belt, learning flips, and — for those who fancy it — wood carving. There's also always the option to take it easy with something quiet.

    We're looking forward to a great time with the kids!

    Please let us know about any dietary requirements after booking.

    Simon Pouly was born and raised in New Zealand and is happy to accommodate english speaking kids.
