Open Mic Night at Hertford Corn Exchange takes place every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month, running from 7pm to 11pm. Sign-ups open at 7pm, with performers given 10-minute slots on stage.

Musicians, comedians, poets, storytellers and anyone with something to share are all welcome. A full sound system and microphones are provided. The night is hosted by Fin Blackett.

The bar area doubles as a pop-up gallery for the evening, giving visual artists and photographers a chance to display their work alongside the performances. To book a display spot, contact Fin at fin.openmic@gmail.com — the same address for any questions about the night or stage setup.

Entry is free for both performers and audience members. Open to all ages; under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
