A vibrant weekend of brilliant music from across the wide folk scene. Well known acts, new discoveries, and special events – all within city centre venues.
Get ready for an expanded folk festival experience! This year, we're taking over three city centre venues: Chapel Street Arts Centre, The Old Bell Hotel and the Museum & Art Gallery on Wardwick, plus fringe activity throughout the city.
We’re very excited about the artists we have coming this year – but, we’re keeping them under wraps for just a little longer, as we’re making a very limited number of tickets available at a super-low price, before we announce names (if you’re on the Derby Folk Festival mailing list, they’ll be sending you an email with a code to use!).
Enjoy access to all weekend events with a single ticket. Weekend tickets will give access to any of the events, subject to the capacity of each venue. If one venue is full, there will be something else happening somewhere!
