This year we're teaming up with culture hub Woolwich Works as the venue for the 2026 MixTape Poetry Festival bringing together London’s burgeoning open mic and spoken word poetry communities in an embrace of music, food, fun, dance, workshops and creativity. Open to all, it is run over five days, the main festival day takes place on Saturday 26 September 2026 where some of the hottest performers, including you as open-mic participants, will take to the stage with special guests. MTPF likes to encourage new voices and artists including in music, and we love to platform independent presses and stall-holders of creative enterprise or thoughtfulness - but especially food! With our happening resident DJ Mike Funk seeing us through the day, soak up the warm and supportive atmosphere. Whether you’re on a day out with the family, chilling with the vibes, are just curious or you want to have a go at what’s on offer, the festival tries to have something for everyone as everyone is welcome.
