Derby Folk Festival

The festival is located in the city’s Cathedral Quarter, where there’s a great buzz, and mix of arts, café culture, unique shopping experiences and a friendly atmosphere.

Derby's Folk Weekend returns! Enjoy a mix of concerts and lively entertainment in the heart of the city all weekend.

All concerts will be held in the Old Bell Hotel, and there is a great line up of familiar and new faces – all bringing top class folk music into the city centre. The weekend will also have sessions, singing, dancing and more in the city’s streets, and in venues within the Cathedral Quarter.

Tickets will also be available for individual concerts, meaning you can create your own festival even if you can’t make it to everything!

Friday eve: Steve Turner; Gilmore & Roberts; The Brothers Gillespie
Saturday: Michell, Pfeiffer & Kulesh; Rachael McShane & The Cartographers; Sam Carter
