ENTERTAINERS of all kinds will be able to try out a new routine of material or perform a recently-composed track for the first time at a forthcoming event.

The Harwich Arts and Heritage Centre, in Main Road, Harwich, is hosting an open mic night on August 25 between 7.30pm and 9.30pm.

Everyone from singers, comedians and poets to songwriters and any other types of performers are encouraged to take to the stage.

The show, which will be hosted by professional musician Rosalind Harniess, is free to attend.
