Savages are proud to present a very special open Mic with guest slots from two amazing local poetry powerhouses; Gill Lambert (Ilkley Lit Fest Open Mic Winner 2016) and Alicia Fernández (Ilkley Lit Fest Chapbook Champion 2017)

The open mic is open to all forms of wordsmithery. Bring us your poetry, prose, comedy, play excerpts, original songs and all things wonderfully in between. Everyone gets 3 minutes to wow us, sign up here or just stick your name down on the night.

Leeds Savage Club is a safe space- we do not tolerate any racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other of the -isms or -phobias. If at any point in the night you have any concerns or need help please approach any member of the board.

This is a pay as you feel event with all money going to the featured performers!
