Information relating to Coronavirus.
England has moved to Step 4 of the roadmap. Everyone should be cautious while managing the risks as cases of COVID-19 remain high. Find out what you should do to protect yourself and others here.
Derby Festé will make a welcome return on the evening of Friday September 24 through to Sunday September 26.
This year’s carefully-curated programme features a host of world-acclaimed and exciting up and coming UK and International artists who will bring the city centre streets to life with contemporary and unique music, dance and street theatre performances.
There is purposefully no large-scale event this year to ensure everyone can enjoy the Derby Festé magic in a Covid-safe and responsible way.
However – this will not detract from the vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere that is synonymous with the Derby Festé weekend – bringing local communities back together and attracting visitors from further afield.
Please visit the website for more detail – so much not to be missed – we are delighted to be returning!!
