Welcome to Derby Folk Festival 2021
We’re very excited to be planning for the festival to happen in the real world, from Fri 1st to Sun 3rd October 2021.
We’re really excited to be bringing you a fantastic mix of artists and events, all in Derby’s city centre. You’ll see all of the names we’ve announced at the bottom of the home page, and you can find out more about them on the Artists Page. The programme, and events are on the Events Page.
This year we’re using the “Love Derby” temporary venue on the Market Place, and in honour of our greatly missed friend, colleague and founder, this will be The Mick Peat Stage. We know he’d be chuffed! Alongside the concerts in the marquee all weekend, we’ll be back in Derby Cathedral on the Saturday, and have other events in The Old Bell Hotel all weekend.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the festival over the years. We’re really looking forward to welcoming you to our 15th edition.
