About us

Royal William Yard's Yard Sessions are returning for summer 2025 with a stunning new venue to match the growing popularity of the annual event series. The free live music events are moving to the enchanting 'Secret Garden' – Plymouth's best kept live music secret, tucked away at the historic waterfront destination.

The Secret Garden is located behind Residence 1 – home to boutique B&B Rooms by Bistrot Pierre – found through an archway into a landscaped walled garden just metres from the sea. This one-of-a-kind venue creates incredible acoustics and atmosphere – perfect for the live music series that celebrates the best local talent, spanning a range of styles.

Up next: Friday 13 June - The Andy Quick Trio

Watch the Andy Quick Trio take to the stage in the first performance of the summer. Andy Quick is a genre-defying musician and independent powerhouse of the South West music scene.

Renowned for his dynamic performances and exceptional songwriting skills, Andy is the driving force and frontman of festival favourites Land of The Giants and The Andy Quick Band. Over his 14 year career Andy has delivered hundreds of killer shows connecting with thousands of music lovers across the land and set countless dance floors alight with his mongrel blend of funk, rock, rap, indie and reggae.

Upcoming performances: 

  • Friday 20 June - Simon and John
  • Friday 25 July – Sundowner Session (act to be announced)
  • Friday 29 August - Thomas Ford and Becca Langsford
  • Friday 12 September - Alex Hart
