History
The Yard Theatre was conceived by Artistic Director Jay Miller, designed by Practice Architecture and built in the summer of 2011 using recycled and reclaimed materials. The converted warehouse is home to a 110 seat amphitheatre and an adjoining bar and kitchen. Situated in Hackney Wick, right by the Olympic Park, The Yard is forming an integral part of the regeneration that is rapidly occurring around it.
In just two years, The Yard has supported hundreds of artists, welcomed thousands to the venue and is fast becoming the home for contemporary British theatre.
