Canal & River Trust and Binks Yard are inviting people of Nottingham down to the canal to enjoy activities and black performers.
Nottingham is a melting pot of culture and vibrancy, and we want to showcase the talent there is within the city at Binks Yard entertainment Plaza. Come along and listen to local Nottingham talent with DJ sets, spoken word artists and belly dancing. There will be live bands, gospel singing, and a community group choir performing their own chorus.
