Yard 10

24 Jul - 31 Jul 2021

The Yard IS TURNING 10 AND WE’RE THROWING A WEEK LONG PARTY.

Now that we’re finally able to open our doors, 
we think a big blowout is very much needed. 

Over 8 days, we invite you to come and celebrate with us. Watch hope be born with Marikiscrycrycry, dance into the night with Knickerbocker and Nine Nights, untangle the climate emergency with Live Drafts, create the future of Hackney Wick with local residents, get moisturised and decolonised by The Cocoa Butter Club, travel through time with Greg Wohead, and so much more. 

We’re looking to the future while celebrating the artists, young people, local residents and audiences who’ve made The Yard what it is today. 

This birthday is all about you. 

So join us as we launch ourselves into the next decade, together.
