Derby has a vibrant tradition of bringing folk music, dance, and song into the heart of our historic streets and venues.

The Derby Folk Festival found a home right in the centre of Derby in 2007, and the festival was embedded in the city's events calendar since. 

Produced in association with our partners at Folk 3D and Bob on Arts, the festival brings the very best local and national talent to the heart of the city every autumn.
