St Saviour’s Yard x Access College brings a free day of live music, food, drink and local independent stalls to Norwich on Thursday 11 June 2026.

The event runs from 12pm to 7pm at St Saviour’s Yard, under the flyover in the city’s Creative Quarter Over the Water. Entry is free, and the listing is aimed at the general public, with a programme built around emerging musical talent and a community atmosphere.

Access College is taking over the venue for the day, with a lineup that includes The Incentives, Mad Hatch, JenJen, Yesterday’s Problem, Dogboy Trio, E.M. Arson, Pyre and Charlie Blackwood, alongside more music during the seven-hour programme.

A seven-hour music takeover under the flyover

St Saviour’s Yard is being used as an open, informal setting for the Access College takeover, placing the event under the flyover rather than inside a conventional music venue.

That location gives the day its practical shape: a lunchtime start, an early evening finish and a programme designed for people who want to drop in for live music while also finding food, drink and local independents in the same space.

The Visit Norwich event listing describes the takeover as a day of emerging musical talent, with performances scheduled from midday through to 7pm. The music bill includes bands and artists across the day rather than a single headline act.

The confirmed lineup for St Saviour’s Yard x Access College

The named acts on the St Saviour’s Yard x Access College bill are The Incentives, Mad Hatch, JenJen, Yesterday’s Problem, Dogboy Trio, E.M. Arson, Pyre and Charlie Blackwood.

The source listing also says “and more”, so visitors should treat the named lineup as the confirmed core of the programme rather than a full running order. No individual set times are listed in the source material.

For people following Norwich’s grassroots and student-linked music scene, the appeal is straightforward: several emerging acts in one place, on one afternoon, with no ticket price attached.

Food, drink and local independent stalls

The event is not billed as music-only. Food and drink will be available, and local independent stalls are part of the takeover.

Those details make it more useful for casual visitors as well as people coming specifically for the music. The format suits a short visit during the afternoon, a longer stay across multiple acts, or a post-lunch stop in the Creative Quarter Over the Water.

The listing does not give names for the food traders, drink providers or independent stalls, so visitors should expect a general mix rather than plan around a confirmed vendor list.
