Community music in the courtyard

Join us in our courtyard from April 05 to October 11 for some live community music Sundays! Featuring a range of genres to entertain everyone, it's the perfect way to unwind with friends and family.
Delicious food and drinks are available in the café too!


All performances will be outdoors within the courtyard, and may be cancelled at short notice due to inclement weather.
