Terrace season begins at Binks Yard with St. Patrick's Day carnival and new 360-degree stage
Leading Nottingham food and entertainment destination, Binks Yard has revealed its action-packed calendar of outdoor events for 2025, including a new immersive dance floor experience.
The Binks Yard terrace launches on 15 March with its first major event of the season, the Paddy’s Day Carnival, which promises to be an unmissable celebration of Irish culture. With an incredible lineup of live music, traditional Irish performances and an unbeatable atmosphere, Binks Yard is set to host one of the biggest St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the city.
Music plays a key role in creating an authentic Irish experience, and Binks Yard has curated a dynamic lineup that truly captures the spirit of Ireland. Attendees can expect DJ Spanner spinning Irish tunes, traditional folk sounds from The Coisir Ceilidh Band and the Area51 Band, as well as two of the world’s biggest tribute bands - Cranberries tribute The Lizberries, and the renowned U2 Experience. Between acts, Irish dancers from a national theatre troupe and carefully curated Irish-themed background music will keep celebrations going throughout the day.
Ben Hicklin, head of events at Binks Yard, said “We’re incredibly excited to kick off the 2025 terrace season with some fantastic new additions, making this one of our biggest years yet. Our schedule is packed with a huge lineup of diverse events, working alongside a great team of promoters - whether it’s the Paddy’s Day Carnival, themed nights spanning the 80s, 90s, R&B, and disco, top tribute acts from across the UK, or major sporting event screenings like Wimbledon, Binks Yard is the ultimate destination for an unforgettable party.”
Building on last year’s investment in a spacious stretch tent, which provides retractable weatherproof coverage for over two-thirds of the outdoor terrace, Binks Yard has further enhanced its outdoor area for 2025 with the introduction of additional food and drink offerings.
Also, in conjunction with leading dance promoter Groovebox, several of the headline events will feature a new 360-degree DJ setup, putting the action right at the heart of the dance floor. This state-of-the-art addition will offer a truly immersive experience for partygoers, making Binks Yard the ultimate destination for live and dance music lovers this spring and summer.Renowned UK garage legend DJ EZ will debut the new set up, when he headlines Groovebox’s bank holiday weekend party on 18 April.
The terrace will continue to feature its signature outdoor bar, wood-fire cooking, and the East Midlands’ largest outdoor screen, promising a vibrant atmosphere for all visitors.
Ben Hicklin said: “The new 360-degree DJ setup is a game-changer for our dance music events here, and we’re looking forward to showcasing it at select nights throughout the season.”
