This year's event promises to be bigger than ever.

The weekend starts on Friday with the Ultimate 90s event with performances from Liberty X, Peter Andre, East 17 and Five.

On Saturday, the 80s Mix Tape returns with a DJ set from Martin Kemp and music from Hue and Cry, tribute act 80s Reunion and ABC.

And the Darley Park Concert takes place on Sunday with a variety of music from the classical orchestra Sinfonia Viva.

Travel

Darley Park is just under 10 minutes' drive from Derby city centre.

On-site parking must be booked in advance for £10 per car.

If you prefer to walk, it is around 25 minutes on foot along the River Derwent from the centre.

Food and drink

You can bring your own food and drink to the event.

But if you are planning on taking alcohol, there is a limit on how much you can take - which can be found on the event's Customer Information page.

There are also plenty of options on the site including street food burgers, wood fired pizzas, a coffee house and a bar.

Weather

According to the latest Met Office weather forecast covering August 18 to September 1: "Beyond the middle of August, there is a greater chance of more settled spells developing, with warmer and drier conditions becoming slightly more likely than the unseasonably unsettled weather of July. However, unsettled conditions are never too far away and so there will likely still be some spells of rain and or thundery showers for many areas from time to time. Overall, temperatures look like they will recover to at least be around average, or a little above, however any prolonged dry or hot spells appear to be unlikely."
