Derbyshire Makes Festival
An exciting programme of free events around Derbyshire showcasing its rich heritage of making and innovation through exhibitions, ‘have a go’ workshops, displays and much more.
Derbyshire Makes shines a spotlight on the industrial history, inspiring landscapes and local communities that make Derbyshire unique. Spread across six local town centres in the spring, there will be walks, talks, exhibitions and more. A roving workshop on wheels, and a mass making project all about designing, making and showcasing textile-based creations – led by Alex Murphy, Derbyshire resident and recent contestant on the BBC’s The Great British Sewing Bee.
People from across Derbyshire and beyond are all invited to be a part of it: families, young people, adults and retirees.
Full programme to be announced in February 2025.
28th March to 27th April | Glossop, Chesterfield, Bolsover, Matlock, Cromford, Wirksworth, Heanor and Swadlincote
