CARNIVAL IN THE COURTYARD
Bank Holiday Sunday 30th August · 2pm 'til midnight
The Courtyard gets a full carnival takeover this Bank Holiday Sunday // one venue, ten hours, and a soundtrack that refuses to sit still.
Expect House, RnB, Garage, Reggae, Disco and Jungle rolling through the afternoon and into the night, plus the biggest singalong anthems from the 70s right through to today. The kind of day that starts with a cold drink in the sun and ends with everyone shouting the words back.
Doors from 2pm. Bank Holiday Monday to recover.
In association with Nirva // tequila and mixer, ready to go in a can. They'll be in the Courtyard with us all day.
