We believe that Future Yard is needed now, more than ever.
It is a challenging time right now, not just for music but for everyone. We believe the experience of lockdown has shown how powerful community is and we want to provide a space for our local community to come together.
Due to the current challenges around staging live events, we've had to take the difficult decision of postponing or cancelling the live shows scheduled in before Christmas. It's a gutting decision to have to make, but it's the right thing to do in the current circumstances.
We're closed at the moment after New Year, but we've come up with a brand-new programme of events so that when we re-open on 21st January we're back with a bang.
The old music industry is dead.
Today, well-connected independent artists who understand the modern music industry are flourishing and building successful careers.
Take control and make the new music industry work for you.

The progress in our live room this year.
A lot has been done to get this ready to welcome crowds of up to 350 - and then scaled back to 60 for socially-distanced shows.
