A Year of Derbyshire Festivals

We're very excited about the Buxton Festival Fringe - of we course we are. We work all year to see it happen and some of us have been doing that for 20 years.

Around and about Derbyshire there are many other groups planning their own bit of excitement. Arts Derbyshire has just produced a neat flyer listing 16 Festivals taking place in our county from April to the end of the year.

Briefly they are:

Belper Arts Festival from 18 April - 31 May
