This open mic night at Hyde Park Book Club is a new, intimate space for music, poetry and spoken word. The evening is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming, with an emphasis on honesty over polish and atmosphere over spectacle. It’s a place for new ideas, half-finished songs and voices that don’t always fit neatly on a stage.
Hosted by two Leeds-based creatives, the night keeps things simple: short sets, minimal setup and a room that’s there to listen. Whether you’re performing for the first time or settling in with a drink to watch, the aim is to create something warm, quietly exciting and a little bit special. With limited capacity, the event offers a chance to experience live work up close, in a space that values curiosity, connection and good energy.
