About This Event

The Friendly Fridays: Open Mic Night will take place at the African Caribbean Centre in Leicester on 28 August 2026, featuring various performers with prices ranging from £6.00 to £25.00.

Come share your stories, songs, or jokes and make new friends at a chill open mic night where everyone’s welcome.

Friendly Fridays is our monthly Friday-night social for adults who want somewhere welcoming to meet people, unwind after the week and enjoy a little culture along the way.

This August, the microphone is open. 🎙️✨

Your Voice Belongs Here.

Whether you sing, write poetry, play an instrument, tell stories, perform spoken word—or would much rather enjoy a drink and cheer everybody else on—you’re welcome in the room.

The evening starts easy.

Come straight from work, grab something from the bar and settle in. We'll break the ice together before moving into our hosted Social Mixer, designed to get people out of their usual circles and make meeting somebody new feel a little less awkward.

Then at 7:30 PM, the Open Mic begins.

No auditions.

No pressure to perform.

No expectation that you arrive knowing anybody.

Just a room full of people willing to listen.
