One World Festival

One World Festival returns to the scenic town of New Mills, in the High Peak, on Saturday 4th July 2026, bringing live entertainment and food for all. The free festival will take place between 12 – 6pm in High Lea Park.

Be among the hundreds of people expected to join festival organisers in celebrating peace, the environment, cultural diversity, and world development. You will enjoy an exciting programme of live music from a wide range of bands and solo acts. The line-up will be announced closer to the event date.

Expect fun activities for all ages, talks, spoken word performances, and plenty of stalls. Get inspired by, and show your support for, multiple community groups and charities working to make a positive impact in the High Peak and the wider world. Enjoy the choice of international food on offer and help raise funds for next year’s event by donating what you can or buying a drink.

Volunteers are still needed to make this wonderful event happen. If you are able to help, watch this space as we'll be posting details of how you can volunteer soon.

One World Festival is a volunteer-led initiative supported by local borough and county councillors, traders, stall holders and bucket collections on the day. Funds are also raised through other events we put on in the town.
