THE YARD at platform

Welcome to our Yard, a new event space for Canterbury.

When we took on our new premises in the middle of a pandemic, the back ‘garden’, having been overgrown for years, was more like a jungle.  But now, armed with secateurs and determination, plus a little bit of good fortune, we have reclaimed and transformed a space that’s nearly 50 metres long.

Sustainable

St Dunstan’s Street has a high density traffic flow and to offset some of the pollution, we are trying to make the yard as green and insect friendly as possible. We are planting containers to attract bees and butterflies, creating our own little wild space from what was once a disused yard.

Events

BAZAAR, a monthly makers market will be our first regular event. More details can be found in the news section below or you can get an application pack here for our next event.

Future events will include private views, yoga sessions, life drawing and other classes from our makers. Please get in touch if there’s something you’d like us to offer.
