Hopey Open Mic

A family-friendly open mic in the park for Mental Health Week, celebrating music, connection, and community wellbeing.

This outdoor edition of Hopey Open Mic transforms Jim McCulloch Park into a family-friendly space for music, connection, and community. Alongside our regular open mic performers, we’ll feature a handful of paid local artists to create an inclusive program that welcomes everyone — from first-time performers to seasoned musicians. By stepping out of the pub and into the park, the event offers a safe, alcohol-free environment where families, young people, and community members of all ages can come together to celebrate creativity, wellbeing, and the power of music to support mental health.

This is a public event open to the whole community.
