We can honestly say that Decorex - our favourite show, was our best yet. We had so many wonderful comments. The move from Syon Park to Kensington Olympia worked really well and we’ve already booked our stand for next year! So thanks to everyone who liked and shared our stand - we really appreciate your enthusiasm.

For 13 consecutive years, Derby has hosted a folk extravaganza with people from all over the country travelling to enjoy the musical delights in the city.  Co-produced by Derby LIVE and PR Productions, 2019 saw a change from the usual festival format to the creation of Derby Folk Weekender which took place in venues surrounding the city’s market place. The programme was jam-packed with music, dance acts and fringe activities from Friday to Sunday.

National Baby Swimming Week, which runs from 13-19 October, aims to raise awareness of how much swimming can positively impact on a baby’s development both physically and psychologically, allowing them the opportunity to reach key milestones sooner.
