About Chew's Yard

Chew's Yard is a grassroots music venue in Preston City Centre, Preston. Bring your own PA, mics and instruments.

Chew's Yard books Acoustic, Folk, Indie acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Preston venue directory.

Chew's ‌‌‍Yard is a contemporary food hall, events space and walled garden in central Preston, built into a converted Victorian warehouse and joinery workshop on the historic alleyway between Friargate and Market Street West. Three interconnected spaces — a food and drinks hall with five independent traders, a versatile events room and a leafy garden — host live music, DJs, markets and acoustic sessions. It is a relaxed, community-minded spot rather than a dedicated gig room.
