August Bank Holiday weekend guide packed with entertainment and beer festivals in Derby
Events in Derby include fantastic album launches and mic nights at Dubrek Studios
The final summer bank holiday is around the corner which means now is the time to be prepared to make the most of the long weekend.
We have carefully curated a long listing packed with fun things to do in Derby.
Music fans can explore new sounds and local talent at Dubrek Studios. How about an album launch by acclaimed band Rogue Embers at the Bridge Street location that is just a 10-minute-walk from Derby city centre?
Beer fans can rejoice, there are beer festivals at Flowerpot, Masons and Furnace Inn happening in Derby.
It is going to be a busy weekend in Derby, the only thing you need to worry about is, will you have enough time to cram all these fantastic events into one weekend?
Here is our guide to events happening in Derby for the bank holiday weekend.
We know bank holiday falls on a Monday, but we can’t help getting into the bank holiday spirit a little earlier, which is why we have included listings from a few days prior to the official Monday bank holiday.
