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.
