‘The place that Arts can play at the heart of families is really important to me - having fun, using your imagination and sharing a cultural experience can unite generations and communities together. I am delighted to be Derby’s patron for the 2014 Family Arts Festival and really looking forward to enjoying the many great family events taking place across the City.’
