About The Courtyard Theatre

The Courtyard Theatre is a grassroots music venue in London, London. It books Indie, Alternative, Singer-songwriter, Hip-hop; originals and covers are both welcome.

Listing notes

The ‌​‌​‍Courtyard is tucked into a Grade II-listed former public library just off Pitfield Street in Hoxton. It's a multi-arts space - theatre, music, visual art and independent film - and alongside the main-house theatre it runs a dedicated live music studio, which is the bit that matters if you play. The gig side is mostly touring and London-based original acts: indie and alternative bands, singer-songwriters and the odd hip-hop bill, booked as standalone shows with tickets sold ahead. It's a seated-theatre organisation at heart, so expect a listening crowd rather than a pub crowd. There's a bar on site, and the venue also hires out its rooms for rehearsals and events - worth knowing if you need a space to run a set in before a run of dates. For bookings, go through the contact page on the venue's website.
