The Yard is well worth the very short walk out of town. This venue has been hosting some of the best live music, fashion and markets in the city. Catch them at the end of the month for a community driven Yard Sale where you’re sure to find hidden gems, unlikely purchases and treasures that are eager to find a new home.

Children and dogs are welcome, whether you’re looking to sell or shop there will be plenty on offer. Local food vendors will be providing the food and drink and local artists will be hosting music workshops throughout the afternoon. It is the perfect way to spend an autumnal Sunday.
