Best day and night out I’ve had in ages: Groovebox events at Binks Yard

Gig Review: Binks Yard Opening Party with Sam Divine and Defected Residents

20th April 2024 | Binks Yard at the Island Quarter, Nottingham

“Awesome vibes!”
“Amazing headliners!”
“Best day and night out I’ve had in ages…”
“LOVED the local DJs playing inside.”

This was just some of the glowing praise from the crowd at the Binks Yard at the opening party on 20th April. Presented by Nottingham brand Groovebox, this day party welcomed some of the hottest headliners in house music, including Defected’s Sam Divine, Ferreck Dawn and Loéca.

The terrace at Binks Yard was a fabulous venue for the busy crowd to enjoy eight hours of quality sounds and an energetic atmosphere, with an inside space housing the excellent Groovebox residents, including local DJs El Johno and ARK-S.

Besides the music, there was something for everyone, with walkabout performers, glitter stand, a variety of food vans, exclusive VIP area and more. Somehow, Groovebox days always seems to be sunny… but let’s not jinx it, eh. Check out upcoming gigs on Skiddle, including appearances by Danny Howard, Arielle Free, Gok Wan, Roger Sanchez and more.
