Storyhouse Spoken Word Open Mic Night

We are excited to be bringing together a vibrant mix of spoken word and live literature from a talented bill of open mic acts from the local area in a new regular event at Storyhouse Garret Theatre.

We are looking for  poetry, prose, flash-fiction and creative non-fiction and everything in between to join our open mic on 3rd June 2026 in a welcoming community that gladly welcomes all, from newcomers to bestsellers.

If you are interested in being part of the open mic, with a five-minute slot to read or perform any type of writing, email a copy of the work you wish to perform to: programming@storyhouse.com

Your host for the evening will be poet Lisa O’Hare, a BBC Words Finalist who has work featured on BBC Radio 3 and has performed across the country, including Boardmasters and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
