We return as one of the key fringe venues for the Harbour Festival, with live music both days, our infamous Hold Bar after party, street food, kids activities, craft beer & cider bars and a gin station.

Our outdoor stage is compered by our old chum Gary Smith, as he takes you on a journey through a line-up that takes in everything from shimmering slide guitar to trumpeting troubadours, surf rock and sun- soaked beats. Sit back, grab a drink and enjoy.
