Derbyshire Now – 27th March 2026 Edition

Derbyshire Makes fun

Six towns across Derbyshire will be staging around 100 spectacular events this spring with the return of our Derbyshire Makes festival.

f you’re out and about in Cromford, Chesterfield, Swadlincote, Heanor, Glossop and Bolsover between 11 April and 16 May 2026, you’ll discover each town hosting a full day of free activity bringing together artists, makers, performers and communities to celebrate Derbyshire’s rich story of making and innovation.

The festival, now in its second year, will transform high streets, heritage sites and public spaces into vibrant hubs of activity and at the heart of this year’s programme are specially commissioned showcase performances, created in collaboration with local communities and rooted in the distinct character of each town.

These bold, high-quality productions will be accompanied by workshops, demonstrations and drop-in sessions, so that you can experience extraordinary performances and get involved.
