Chloe Foy

We are thrilled to welcome Chloe Foy to the FY Garden on Sunday 27th July, for a gorgeous hazy afternoon of folk under the Birkenhead sun, featuring Rachael Jean Harris, Grace Elizabeth Harvey, Maddie Lara + Catherine Bullock.

With her strikingly beautiful voice and emotionally direct songwriting, Chloe Foy has a penchant for finding magic in the spaces between light and dark. Growing up in the quiet of the English countryside, it was through music that she first learned how to express the nuance of emotion. Her songs are a reflection of that stillness, woven with threads of vulnerability and longing. Her lyrics speak to the complexity of the human experience — love, loss, and the subtle daily battles we all fight. With a voice that’s as delicate as it is powerful, she creates music that speaks to the heart.

YEP: The Snow Dragons

This adventure is more than a story

Deep in the woods, the trees are whispering. Beneath their branches, thrilling stories are being told.

For eight young friends with big imaginations, the woods are where excitement and adventure play out. Day after day they invent stories about giants and dragons, sword fights and vengeance. But today, things are different. An army is coming – not a play army, but a real one – and the soldiers have the kids’ homes in their sights.

In this moment of terrible danger, can these friends become the heroes they always imagined they could be?

Packed with magical songs and exhilarating live music, The Snow Dragons is what happens when fairytales turn dark – when childhood games and the grown-up world collide. Filling the Everyman with fun and invention, laughter and tears, our YEP young people bring this fast-moving musical adventure bursting into brilliant life.

A musical by Lizzie Nunnery and Vidar Norheim

JOSH JONES

Stand-up Josh Jones performs at Future Yard on Saturday 27th September.
After his 2023/24 sell-out smash tour Gobsmacked, this marvellous Manc is back with his best show yet, the ‘I haven’t won the lottery so here’s another tour’ show.

A TV favourite, and now an aspiring doctor’s wife, Josh Jones is now knee deep into his 30’s and nothing thrills him more than a Greggs Sausage Roll and an M&S food shop. Living a more sedate life isn’t without its challenges though – he’s still trying to earn his cat’s respect!

Josh is hitting the road with a show packed full of laughs and he’s keeping it light – nothing super political, nothing controversial and it’s definitely not going to change your life, but you can be sure of a fab night out filled to the brim with jokes about history, cats, his love of wrestling and much more. Please come, he’d really like to buy a new sofa.

Tickets on sale Wednesday 12th Feb @ 10am.
