Started by a group of 50 volunteers in 2011, The Yard is now recognised as the “most important theatre in East London” (Time Out). Through our ability to identify artists and inspire new work, The Yard has become a leader in the future of theatre.
This could not have been achieved without the ongoing commitment and generous support of local residents, individuals, trusts, foundations, and businesses.
We have a commercial bar, of which all of the profits support our charitable activity. But your support is critical to our success and we need it to raise 25% of our income every year.
