The Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick reopens in July 2026 in a major new building.
The Yard originally opened in 2011 in a Hackney Wick warehouse built with a team of fifty volunteers. It was meant to last six months, but fifteen years on, the original building has been demolished and replaced with an entirely new venue on the same spot.
Designed from scratch by RIBA award-winning Takero Shimazaki Architects, the new Yard is more than twice the size of the original, boasting a 220-seat curved auditorium, and new backstage, dressing rooms and office facilities.
