Big Fun, Low Cost

This Summer, Derby is serving up big fun, low cost adventures for everyone. From hands-on creativity to outdoor excitement, the Big Deal is your guide to the very best free and low-cost experiences the whole family can enjoy.

Get stuck into craft workshops, explore the Museum of Making, Derby Museum & Art Gallery, and Pickford’s House- all free to enter and packed with art, stories, and inspiration. Local legends like Artcore and Baby People bring the fun with interactive sessions and creative flair.

Head outside for even more big fun, low cost moments - Markeaton Park’s got everything from mini-golf and paddle boats to a huge play area and paddling pool. Or slow things down with a peaceful picnic in Darley Park, Alvaston Park, or the historic Arboretum.

You don’t need to spend big to make big memories. This summer, Derby is all about big fun, low cost- and it’s all waiting for you.
