About the Event
Celebrating 20 years of fantastic events, Derby Folk Festival returns to the city centre.
The Weekend Pass gives access to all of the ticketed concerts, taking place across the whole weekend in Derby Museum’s Wardwick, The Old Bell Hotel, and Chapel Street Arts Centre, giving you the chance to enjoy artists in different venues, as well as experiencing the variety of shops, food and drink that the city’s Cathedral Quarter offers.
Derby’s Cathedral Quarter will host a packed weekend of entertainment, including concerts, dances, workshops and crafts. With a mix of ticketed and free events, all in the city centre, there’s lots of options for everyone to experience the festival whether they’re a seasoned festival goer, or passing shopper.
