FRI 9 – SUN 11 OCTOBER 2026

2025 was so much fun, we’re doing it again!
We’ll have concerts in The Old Bell Hotel Derby, Chapel Street Arts Centre, and Derby Museums’ Wardwick – all from Friday evening to Sunday evening.
Weekend Passes will give access to as many concerts and events as you can get to during the weekend (subject to capacity in some spaces, obviously!) – there’s concerts, workshops, dances and more…
We’ll also have Day Passes, giving you the chance to come along for Friday Evening, Saturday or Sunday, rather than the full weekend.
Alongside this will be free music and dance in 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!
Always in our hearts and minds – Mick Peat (1940 – 2021)
