On the second Thursday of the month, join us at the Ringway Centre for an evening where you can share your talent, connect with like minded people, and enjoy the creativity within our community.
This open mic offers a welcoming space to step up and express yourself in front of a friendly and supportive crowd. Whether you sing, play an instrument, read poetry, tell us a joke or a story, or simply have something you’d like to share, you are warmly invited.
There is no need for experience or perfection. This is about participation, encouragement, and enjoying the moment together.
You are just as welcome to come along, sit back, and enjoy the talents of your neighbours in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.
We’ll pause halfway through for a short break, with tea and coffee to share, giving everyone a chance to connect and unwind.
We gather every second Thursday of the month.
