The Oxford House Open Mic is a bi-monthly event that offers a welcoming stage for songwriters, musicians, poets, storytellers, playwrights, and other performers to share their work with a supportive audience. It is open to all and is part of our ongoing commitment to building a vibrant and inclusive creative community.

This event forms part of the ‘Made in the East End’ project, which celebrates the rich legacy of writing, activism, and community voice that took place within the walls of Oxford House and in the surrounding area. Through this new Open Mic series, we are extending that legacy, creating a contemporary platform for artistic expression and cultural exchange.
