Whether you are a poet, music act, or a stand-up comedian, come along and celebrate with us! Open Mic slots will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis on the night.

This evening supports the brilliant Playland Portsmouth, helping the charity bring creative opportunities to even more young people across the city.

By joining us, you’ll help Playland continue to deliver workshops, events, and vital creative programmes for the community — making sure that cost is never a barrier to participation.

As we’re hosting the event in a charity hub with limited seating, tickets must be secured in advance. Numbers are strictly limited — so once they’re gone, they’re gone!
