Hidden Literature presents Say Sutt’n Open Mic in partnership with the National Trust – Sutton House and Breaker’s Yard. An intimate, family-friendly daytime poetry and music open mic showcasing some of London’s finest poets, singers, and musicians.

Hosted by Ovyuki, get ready for a fun-filled afternoon at this wondrous and historic 16th-century Tudor house situated in the heart of vibrant East London. Unleash your creativity on stage and don’t hesitate to bring your little ones along too, the event welcomes both adults and children to participate.

Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a newcomer, seise the opportunity to grace the stage with your presence, performing poems or songs acapella, with Sutton’s Steinway grand piano, with your own instrument, or accompanied by a backing track.

If you’re interested in performing, please complete the artist form at https://hiddenliterature.com/openmichackney/ and when you arrive make yourself known to our host Ovyuki.
