(1200)

Constructed between 1825 and 1831, the Royal William Yard is steeped in history and considered to be one of the most important groups of historic military buildings in Britain and the largest collection of Grade I Listed military buildings in Europe. A Plymouth landmark, the Royal William Yard has become the most prestigious address in the City for both residents, the hospitality industry and offi

ce occupiers alike. The Royal William Yard is the most exciting mixed-use development in Plymouth, situated on a 15-acre site with dramatic views over the Hamoaze to Cornwall and, from the adjoining Devils Point Park, across Plymouth Sound. As well as fantastic architecture and amazing views, the Yard boasts a cafe, restaurants, bars, shops and gallerys. There is an on-site marina offering berthing and mooring on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, as well as an hourly water bus service between the Yard and the Barbican, a novel way for visitors to travel to the Yard. There is also a bike and paddleboard hire available. The award-winning redevelopment of the Royal William Yard is being undertaken by Urban Splash. This page was set up by people who love the Royal William Yard and Western Kings. It is not published or managed by Urban Splash. Whilst we will do our best to share information about events at the Yard we are not always aware of them. If you have enquiries about bookings, events or parking you should contact Urban Splash.

⛈️ But don't worry it's not all heat warnings, we've also got a yellow alert for thunderstorms tonight!

🙄 We know you're fed up of us nagging you about the weather but please take precautions and follow advice on how to stay cool and hydrated, we don't wany anyone fainting on the Barbican.

👇 You can find some top tips in the attached graphic.

👵Anyone can become unwell in very hot weather but we should also look out for those who are at higher risk of becoming seriously unwell in the heat, including older people and those with underlying health conditions.

😮‍💨Remember, the relentless sweating will soon be over and it will be raining again before we know it! Good old British summer, eh?

Work to start dismantling the exclusion zone around Evolution Cove will start from this evening after both the Council and Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service deemed the building safe enough for residents to return.

Our highways team will be on site to begin dismantling the traffic management system as well as remove fencing around the exclusion zone.

As there is a significant amount of fencing around the exclusion zone along with cones, cabling and signals that need to be removed, this is expected to take some time. We are aiming for the zone to be removed by 8am tomorrow morning.
Thanks everyone for bearing with us

Bus services will return to the RWY Royal William Yard on the Stonehouse Peninsula from this Saturday – in time for the popular monthly good food and craft market.

We are subsidising a shuttlebus, the 34A, that will serve all stops along Union Street between the Octagon and Stonehouse Roundabout – the stops that are currently used by the service 34. The 34A will then continue to Royal William Yard via the signposted diversions.

Plymouth Citybus will deploy a 24-seater, fully accessible shuttle bus to run every 30 minutes from 7am to 7pm seven days a week.

To avoid a repeat of the situation that happened last week where a goods vehicle got jammed on the Stonehouse peninsula, Plymouth City Council has just introduced a restriction on vehicle size. This does not impact on emergency service vehicles which will still have access.
