A Surprising City is a celebration, a collection of some of the work performed during the first year of Open Mic Afternoons at the Wrecking Ball Arts Centre, on Whitefriargate, Hull. The collection reflects the truly eclectic mix of writers and poets who have been welcomed to the stage by hosts, Dave and Polly Pattison.

Open Mic Afternoons are held on the first Tuesday of every month at 2:00pm (doors 1:30pm). Admission is free with a bucket collection to support Emmaus – a charity working to support Hull’s homeless people. All are welcome!
