Our next Lounge:
What is Laureate’s Lounge?
Laureate’s Lounge is a monthly open mic poetry night held at Thames Side Brewery in Staines-upon-Thames — a welcoming, creative space where local poets, spoken word artists, lyricists, and first-time performers gather to share their work.
We run every month on the second Tuesday, from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM, offering a relaxed, inspiring evening filled with original poetry, good conversation, and a great community vibe — all with craft beer on tap.
Whether you’re new to performing or already part of the Surrey poetry scene, Laureate’s Lounge gives you a mic, a spotlight, and a crowd that’s genuinely listening. Open to all styles and levels, it’s a chance to experiment, connect, and grow your voice.
If you’re searching for open mic events in Surrey, looking to discover fresh local talent, or hoping to read your own poetry in a friendly setting — this is where it’s happening.
