Arts In The Yard is the Local Arts Forum for Yardley Constituency. Arts In the Yard are passionate about their local neighbourhood. Arts In The Yards use art and creativity, in their widest and broadest sense, to foster community development and cohesion.


Arts In The Yard recent projects include Women Of Yardley Unite! (WOYU+), a women’s empowerment programme. Creativity is used to develop skills, build confidence and form friendships through a series of free creative sessions led by professional artists.

Arts In The Yard also aim to bring the community together through Hay Mills Art Trail, a public art project co-designed by residents and business in Tysley and Hay Mills Ward. Two pieces of public artworks have been created, including the 10 colourful planters on Coventry Road, Hay Mills, complete with blooms.


Part of our Arts In The Yard Covid response included #FeedYard which supported foodbanks across Yardley for 6 months. Local residents donated non-perishable food items at South Yardley Library which we then redistribute to local foodbanks.

Arts In The Yard also produced a virtual arts cafe, a magazine show that aired on the last Friday of each month. The show features interviews, music and crafts, all filmed locally.


To find out more how you can get involved in supporting Arts In The Yard by volunteering, delivering newsletters, joining one of their art and community initiatives or donating non-perishable food for local foodbanks. You can find out more:
