Headlining this Thursday 28 April is Bristol-based promoter and party starter, Worm Disco Club.

The very next day on Friday 29 April, radio station SWU.FM will take over with breakfast show host DJ, Felix Joy bringing an exploratory and expansive mix.

Highlights on the upcoming Courtyard Social programme include sought-after DJ and producer, Maxxi Soundsystem and half of PBR Streetgang, Tom Thorne, who is set to play an evening of Disco/boogie-infused House music on Saturday 7 of May.

Friday 27 May, music collective Diplomats of Sound and legendary award-winning festival venue Chai Wallahs will be spinning tunes from Hip-Hop, Reggae, Afrobeat and House.

Alongside the live music, Courtyard Social visitors can enjoy a huge selection of craft beers including pints from some of the city’s top local breweries will be on offer, as well as a thirst-quenching menu of wine and cocktails. There will also be a Happy Hour from 6pm-7pm so get in early for 2-for-1 on selected cocktails, beer and cider.

On the food billing, sourdough connoisseurs and winner of the Bristol Life Awards 2021 ‘Restaurant’ category, Pizzarova will be doing their things, having kicked off their Summer residency at Propyard. Jafra will also be popping up at Propyard for the summer, offering up their delicious middle eastern inspired flavours, both day and night, with a rotating menu that will keep you coming back for more.

To keep it fresh, there will also be a rotation of some more of Bristol’s top street food vendors featuring across the series throughout Spring and Summer.

The venue welcomes children to join until 8pm and is also dog friendly. Attendees will spend the evening watching the sunset in the newly renovated Propyard Courtyard, featuring beautiful outdoor seating, as well as partial undercover canopy areas, providing a feeling of a mini-festival in the middle of the city.
