Late Summer Fête: 10 years of Sadler's Yard

Head down to Sadler’s Yard for a good ol’fashioned late summer fête. Taking place on Sunday 31 August, think bunting, baking, folk music and your favourite childhood traditions – all blended together in this city centre spot. They’re celebrating a whole decade of Sadler’s Yard at the heart of the NOMA neighbourhood. As of 2015, the yard was the city’s first public square built in 100 years, named by public vote after James Sadler – balloonist, chemist, pastry chef, and first man (with a cat) to launch into the skies from this very neighbourhood. Guests can expect live folk music, plant sales, a vegetable competition, cookery demos, cat portraiture and the first official public gathering of people named James – bring your James to claim a commemorative badge.
