Derby Festé 2025
Derby Festé 2025: Where the Streets Come Alive!
Expect the unexpected as the streets burst into life with a spectacular mix of dance, theatre, circus, parkour, and aerial performance. It’s a full-on sensory adventure designed to spark your imagination and stir your soul.
This year’s programme is a tale for our times—celebrating the wonder of nature, confronting the challenges it faces, and exploring how we can come together to create change. From the magical and moving to the bold and hilarious, Derby Feste will once again captivate and delight audiences of all ages.
See it. Feel it. Be part of it. Join artist and cartoonist Scott Walker in a giant street-style doodle art piece, or take a trip to the beach under a giant spinning parasol! Keep an eye out for the mischievous Slinkies as Big Mob rolls through—audience participation optional (but encouraged!).
With plenty of family-friendly performances, many of which are non-verbal, Derby Feste is accessible to deaf audiences and those who don’t use English as a first language.
A city transformed. A day to remember.
This vibrant event is proudly presented by Derby City Council with project grant support from Arts Council England National Lottery funding. Feste is delivered in partnership with Fabric, the Midlands strategic dance development organisation with additional support from Derby Museums and QUAD.

Derby City Council Deep Clean
Derby City Council plan to clear the drains and deep clean some road/footpaths in the Six Streets area on Tuesday 30 September 9.00 am - 1 pm.
The Council will need to ask residents on Statham Street, Wheeldon Ave, White Street to park elsewhere for the duration of the work – and if they can they will try and do Park Grove as well.
We will need people to leave 1 m clear on either side of each drain on ALL streets, and ideally leave the street as car free as possible on the 4 streets above. The remaining streets are in the plan for next year, the council are targeting the streets with the most leaf/apple debris.
We are working with St Alkmunds Church, the Jonty Farmer, Broadway Baptist Church and the WI to
see if we can park there temporarily for that day, we will let you know if we get their agreement and there are other streets around, without resident’s permits/school restrictions (please don’t get a fine) – around West Bank Avenue, Highfield Road areas and on the other side of Kedleston Road.
** We have just heard from DCC that parking restrictions for the Cedar Street area will be relaxed for the time period of the street clean, this will not apply to the Bromley Street Safe Haven **
Leaflets – we will leaflet cars on the streets where the cleaning will take place, and there may be Council staff on the day asking you if you could kindly park elsewhere for just that time.
If you would like your drain cleaned please add a Wheelie Bin there the night before (on 29th September) so the drain is not missed by the lorry.
Your help and co-operation will be greatly appreciated.

Assemble: Derby’s Making Festival 2025
Meet the makers and discover what you can make!
Produced by Derby Museums, Assemble is a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, which celebrates making in all its shapes and forms. The last event in 2024 saw audiences of over 1,000 in attendance and featured more than 60 makers on-site, with demonstrations in everything from ceramics and embroidery to laser-cutting, weaving, jewellery-making, metalwork, robotics and automata. Visitors were invited to take part in a variety of special workshops and this year we are welcoming back Aardman animations to host three exciting workshops.
Assemble brings together artists and makers from varied disciplines to share their passion and skills with the public and to encourage others to have a go at making themselves. For makers, Assemble offers an opportunity to share creative passions and skills, to network with other makers and artists and to inspire makers of the future, all in the glorious surroundings of the Museum of Making, a UNESCO World Heritage that is widely regarded to be the site of the world’s first factory.

Sci-Fi Meetup
Do you like Sci-fi films? - Informal meet-up at the Creaky Floorboard 7 - 9pm Thursday 11 September
Fancy meeting up monthly to watch a film with drinks and snacks and chat about it after? Organised much in the way book clubs work, but WITH SCI-FI FILMS INSTEAD! There could be trips to QUAD as well as they sometimes have interesting Sci-fi screenings.
Why Sci-fi? I’m Ian Ronald and although I’m no film buff, I love every aspect of films, from the production technology to the cultural impact they have and if looking for a film to watch I usually head to the Sci-fi listing first. It would be great to share that enjoyment one evening a month with you if you love Sci-fi movies too. I think what would be great about a group like this is experiencing films and perspectives new to each other.
What next? Informal meet-up at the Creaky Floorboard 7-9pm Thursday 11th September to decide next steps and get the group going.
If you can’t make it please email 6streetsderby@gmail.com to be added to the interested list ........and (sorry I couldn’t resist):
“By Grabthar's hammer”, we’ll let you know what’s happening.
