Derby Well Re-dressed

Fri 25 - Sun 27 Sep

Location: Derby City Centre

About the event

Derby Well is a campaign that brings together a wide range of arts and cultural events throughout our city

Derby Well is a new campaign launched by Déda, the lead partner of Derby Festé, to support and promote cultural and arts activities in and around Derby city centre, through a virtual and physical performance and events programme.

Derby Well will launch on Friday 25, Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 with Derby Well Re-Dressed.

This should have been the annual Derby Festé outdoor entertainment festival. However, the Government guidance around mass gatherings due to the pandemic has forced organisers to reinvent this year’s entertainment.

The Derby Well Re-Dressed weekend will see the city centre and surrounding area transformed into a street gallery with artwork, performances and contemporary well dressings, including some of the street artwork created for the Melbourne festival. The programme will support artists back into work, encourage people back into the city centre in a safe and socially distanced way and contribute to the wellbeing of city communities by engaging with wider audiences.
