Open Air - Open Decks @ People in the Park 2026

We’re super excited to have been invited by Salisbury Transition City to perform at their annual, free community event “People in the Park” which is being held on Saturday 16th May 2026 in Queen Elizabeth Gardens, Salisbury.

Rather than just turning up and performing we thought it would be a fantastic idea to open up this event to the community and invite local DJ’s of all skill levels to come and perform in the DJ tent alongside our tutors and some of our students from Salisbury DJ Academy.

So, in partnership with “No Gimmicks” we bring you “Open Air - Open Decks”. Salisbury’s first-ever open decks event to take place in a public outdoor space in our city!
