FRI 10 – SUN 12 OCTOBER 2025

colourful flower border, with the words Derby Folk Festival 2025 - Fri 10 to Sun 12 October

We’re back, again!

We had such a good time last year, that we’re doing it all again – but we’re trying to (re)grow…

We’ll have concerts in The Old Bell Hotel Derby, 19 Chapel Street, and Derby Museums’ Wardwick – all from Friday evening to Sunday evening

We have “Weekend Tickets”, with an early bird price up to 31st May, and full price from 1 June. Later in the year, we’ll release some “Individual Concert Tickets” – giving people the opportunity to come to as little, or as much of the festival as they choose.

Alongside this will be free music and dance on the streets of the Cathedral Quarter, allowing us to engage with not just those who are in the city for the festival, but those who might otherwise miss all of the fun we’ll be having!
