HELLO © Robert Day

Our Christmas season has come around quickly and we hope you’ll join us for an awfully big adventure as Peter Pan flies into Derby Arena. Producers Little Wolf are back for a third year and, after the success of Jack and the Beanstalk, we can’t wait for the barrel load of laughs and spectacular treats we know they’ll have in store for us.

With a pinch of fairy dust and a Christmas wish, magical things start to happen when The Babbling Vagabonds return with their family-friendly show The Christmas Toy Shop Mystery. Expect puppets, songs and lots of silliness in this festive adventure for younger children in the Guildhall Theatre after its temporary closure this year.

This year Derby Folk Festival will be taking a break from the normal format, and, in its place, Derby LIVE and PR Promotions will be hosting the Derby Folk Weekender.

Folk fans can expect international artists including Kongero (Sweden), De Temps Antan (Canada) and Andy Irvine (Ireland), as well as music sessions and fringe events in the Cathedral Quarter.

Keep the kids occupied this half term with The Christmas Toyshop Mystery Workshop, where they will design their own toys and share stories of adventure! At Derby Arena, What’s Love Got To Do With It? is set to wow audiences with a high energy, feel good rock and roll spectacular, featuring stunning musical arrangements of Tina Turner’s classic hits.

Last, but not least, the concert of the year is back again. The grassy slopes of Darley Park will play host to thousands of visitors as the residents of Derby come together for a night of classical music and fireworks at The Hannells Darley Park Concert. Join us for the celebrations, and don’t forget your picnic!

One of the UK’s biggest outdoor classical concerts returns to the stunning natural amphitheatre of Darley Park. 2019’s concert will celebrate 1969 and Golden Anniversaries and will, of course, see the return of East Midlands Grammy-nominated and RPS Awards winning orchestra Sinfonia Viva, with a performance supported by Rolls-Royce.

The programme is set to delight audiences yet again with a mix of classical favourites and a selection of music to commemorate iconic moments from 1969 including the release of Abbey Road by the Beatles, the Moon Landing and Concorde’s first flight. The programme kicks-off with the opening of Richard Strauss’ Also Sprach, the most famous piece linked with space and the launch of the space craft, closely followed by one of Tchaikovsky’s best-loved vocal pieces None but the Lonely Heart.

Christmas is around the corner… but, the Christmas Toy Shop is nearly empty! It’s too late to sell what is left on the shelves! The remaining toys are destined for the old dark store room, or worse still, the incinerator!

But, this year something curious happens! With a pinch of fairy dust and a Christmas wish odd things start to happen. Magic and mystery surround the old Christmas Toy Shop - but what is really going on behind the shuttered windows?

Colourful characters, catchy tunes, puppets and theatrical magic come to the Guildhall Theatre stage and will make your family’s Christmas truly special this year.

The Dreamboys is without a shadow of a doubt the UK’s most famous and successful show of its kind in history.

Their breathtaking show spectacular has been perfectly created for hen nights, birthday parties and girls nights out with all your friends.

Jimmy’s brand new show contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things. Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love.

But they’re just jokes - they are not the terrible things.

Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.

Now you’ve been warned, buy a ticket.
