Birkenhead, Future Yard
Birkenhead is set to be the home of one of the most exciting new music venues in the UK, a building that re-imagines the role of a live music venue, providing live industry training and a regional hub for artist development. Aspiring to be the UK’s first carbon-neutral venue, Future Yard looks to help offset the carbon emissions of the live music industry FUTURE YARD, a brand-new, 350-capacity space, opened its doors at 75 Argyle Street this September. This new community venue will bring some of today’s most exciting new national and international artists to Wirral, while at the same time providing key early performance opportunities for emerging local musicians. Birkenhead – and Wirral – is a place with music in its DNA, but its been too long since we’ve had a dedicated live music venue in our town. We believe that music venues are the maternity wards of creative culture. They are always the trailblazers, the first cultural flagpole when it comes to thinking about a place differently. We believe that through utilising the power of music, we can change our town for the better, inspiring local people, creating life-changing opportunities and shaping a new music future.
