Bolsover Castle’s Festival of the Arts is a celebration of creativity, bringing together local artists, writers, poets and communities at the 17th century Cavendish pleasure palace.
From spoken word stages and art installations to live music and dance demonstrations, there’s a new passion for everyone to discover and treats to take home made by local artisan makers.
This year, Bolsover Castle are working with Derbyshire Makes combining both events’ festivities into a whole-day programme encompassing the whole of Bolsover town centre.
The full programme will be released soon, but you can look forward to hands-on making, talks, creative walks, exhibitions, performances, music, food and plenty more.
This event is included with general admission which you can book via the booking button below.
Entry is free for residents of the Bolsover district. Please use the code BOLNTQDG126 at checkout to claim your free entry.
