Derby Folk Festival

Welcome to Derby Folk Festival's page. The festival is held right in the City Centre - making use of the specially created City Marquee on the Market Place, The Guildhall Theatre, The Old Bell Hotel, and Derby Cathedral.

It's a fantastic mix of concerts, ceilidhs, workshops, sessions, dance displays, craft fairs, music and dance fringe events and, of course, a real ale bar! Past headliners have included Fairport Convention, Bellowhead, Edward II, Oysterband, Show of Hands, Seth Lakeman, Lau, Kate Rusby, Steeleye Span and many more great acts.
