Derbyshire Now – 13th February 2026 Edition
Derbyshire Makes returns
We’re looking forward to April and May 2026, when six town‑centre festivals will celebrate creativity, heritage and the future as part of Derbyshire Makes.
The festival, now in its second year, will transform high streets, heritage sites and public spaces into vibrant hubs of activity, bringing together artists, makers, performers and communities to celebrate the county’s extraordinary making, heritage and creative and cultural industries.
Six locations across the county will each host a full day of free, family-friendly activity, so make sure you put the dates in your diary:
- Cromford Mills on Saturday 11 April
- Chesterfield on Saturday 18 April
- Swadlincote on Saturday 25 April
- Heanor on Saturday 2 May
- Glossop on Saturday 9 May
- Bolsover on Saturday 16 May.
Get more information and updates, sign up to the mailing list, or follow @DerbyshireMakes on social media.
