FestivALL: Open Mic at The Nest

Organised by : The Nest at Chichester Festival Theatre

Calling all local disabled and/or neurodivergent artists, performers, and curious creatives - this is your chance to take the mic at The Nest!

New for FestivALL 2026, we're celebrating the incredible talent of non-professional performers with an evening of eclectic, inspiring acts. The FestivALL Open Mic is a warm, welcoming space where you can share up to five minutes of work-in-progress material.

Whether it's a poem, a stand-up routine, a song, a dance piece, or something completely unexpected - seasoned performer or first-timer - everyone is welcome! No pressure. No polish. Just creativity, connection and a great night out.

Want to perform? Complete our online registration form on the webpage, by Monday 9 February and well confirm your slot.

Please note: groups of up to 3 performers are welcome; the performance space is approx. 4m x 6m; no sets or large props permitted.

Prefer to watch? Book your ticket, grab a seat, and enjoy an evening of bold ideas and fresh perspectives.
