The contracting and planning process with Charley and Taylah was easy and seamless. Venue Management were great to negotiate with in allowing us to have a 7-piece band in The Yard under flexible and fair parameters. Our guests loved the venue, and it truly came alive at night!

I came here for New Bloom and it was a decent venue for music! Good vibes and seems pretty well run. It could use some big fans to keep the air moving in the crowd in hot weather/busy events, but I was actually expecting it to be much hotter inside than what it was, so whatever they've done to prevent that I guess is working. The open courtyard space is nice, and a lot bigger than what a lot of other similar sized venues have. Surprisingly quiet outside when loud music is playing inside, which is nice if you just need to chill for a bit. The portaloos aren't great, It would be good to add permanent toilets there at some point, so hopefully that happens one day. At least there were a lot of them! Apart from that it's a great building and the sound was alright. I like that it's wide rather than long, so if you're at the back you're not 100 miles away from the bands. Not the easiest/quickest to get to on public transport, but there is a bus close by, and it's not really something the venue can change! I'd happily come to other gigs/events here in the future.

Great venue, brilliant sound, large without anywhere really feeling too far away, and with good access to the three bars. Security and venue management were lovely and well organised. Only real let down was the toilets (a row of portaloos on the far side, that could only be accessed by squeezing through the crowd)

Went here to see the Remi Wolf gig. The performance space is great but the facilities are awful. Only portable toilets were available for use and due to the hot weather they were putrid. The stench migrated into the performance space and ruined the amenity. Sound quality was not great either - quite a bit of reverb. Some more seating outside would be great. Had a great time at the show anyway and the bar staff were lovely and security staff were efficient and effective.
