MUSIC at WILD CANVAS
With lazy afternoon DJ session beside the river and a selection of DJ friends providing the musical nutrition at Wild HQ, our secluded courtyard, in the evenings. Music at Wild Canvas is a pretty chilled affair, a sweet summer soundtrack to your time here., served up on a quality sound system! Whilst pretty low key during the week, on weekends, we turn up the volume and get the party going.
