There’s a brand new festival heading to Wirral - and it looks like a show stopper.
Future Yard comes from the team at Bido Lito! to bring together local, national and international artists to some of Birkenhead ’s most iconic spaces.
The festival is set to “reimagine Birkenhead as a musical playground” and is launching for the first time on August 23 and 24, 2019.
Future Yard aims to “think about music differently” and become the “first step on the journey towards a new music future for Birkenhead”.
