About the Event
An unforgettable evening of world-class orchestral music and film favourites in the heart of Darley Park.
Celebrate summer with those closest to you. The Darley Park Concert returns for 2026, offering the perfect opportunity for family and friends to come together for an unforgettable evening of music and light.
Set in the beautiful surroundings of Darley Park, this summer tradition is back - an event designed for sharing and making memories.
Providing the soundtrack to your evening is our very own Sinfonia Viva. Based right here in the East Midlands, this award-winning orchestra brings incredible local talent to the stage. We are also delighted to welcome back the esteemed conductor Stephen Bell. Having conducted for the BBC Proms and the Hallé, Stephen’s return ensures a world-class performance for all ages to enjoy together.
This year’s programme will feature music from dramatic films and magical musicals, including Apollo 13 and Beauty and the Beast, alongside firm classical favourites by Mozart and Tchaikovsky.
The night will culminate in a spectacular pyrotechnic display, transforming the night sky. This fusion of colour and sound is designed to delight audiences of all ages, providing a dazzling conclusion to the weekend’s festivities.
