Produced by Artcore, the Derby Market Hall and Osnabruck Square will light up with a fusion of culture, music, performances, food, and festive shopping. Experience a vibrant showcase of traditional and contemporary acts, delicious cuisine, and a joyful atmosphere for all.

Inside the Market Hall, the food traders will serve an array of cuisines from different cultures, offering something to tempt every palate. From dazzling dance performances to local artisan stalls, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. As part of the celebrations, the Diwali Bazaar will bring an extra burst of colour and festive charm, with stalls filled with colourful diyas, decorative lights, traditional sweets, ethnic wear, and handcrafted gifts that attract crowds of all ages.

Osnabruck Square will glow with lamps and diyas created by people from different communities through workshops and engagements held throughout the month, making it a true reflection of Derby’s spirit of unity. The Market Hall will become a hub of joy and togetherness, offering the perfect place for families and friends to shop, eat, and soak in the spirit of the festival.
