Broadwick Live, the team behind Printworks, Magazine, the Drumsheds and more, have announced a new open-air London venue called Dockyards, which is set to open later this year.

Dockyards is a 400,000 sq ft open-air venue located in Silvertown Quays on the bank of the River Thames, next to London City Airport.

The open-air events space is expected to have a "year-round curated programme," and will, according to the site, "continuously evolve to create new and exciting environments filled with a variety of events driven by innovation and imagination."
