Sinfonia Viva are back to put the glamour, glitz and flare into New Year’s Eve with their sparkling performance at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall which has been popular with local audiences for more than 25 years.
The Gala Concert will be a double cause for celebration for the orchestra – marking the end of its 40th anniversary year.
Derby Cathedral and its key partners have organised a wide range of events from mindfulness, music and Flowga to discussions, poetry and creative writing which are all inspired by the ‘Gaia’ artwork that will land in Derby as part of its world tour.
Created by renowned UK artist Luke Jerram, ‘Gaia’ measures seven metres in diameter and is created from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface.
The Derby Season of Light (DSOL) family festival will return this Autumn with a packed programme of activities and performances to celebrate the city and county’s diversity and creativity.

Get ready to celebrate Derbyshire Day on the 22nd of September 2022! Derbyshire Day recognises all the things that make our county special. It was first started in 2006 when, due to the absence of a specific date for when Derbyshire was made a county, a public vote on Radio Derby was in favour of the day to be September the 22nd, referencing the launch date of the Derbyshire flag. Other potential dates included the 28th of July (when Derby was given city status) and the 12th of May (Derbyshire resident Florence Nightingale’s birthday).
With Buxton Fringe's orange floral displays still going strong, Luke Bates and Alfie Tomkinson of the Pump Room’s Buxton Visitor Centre (pictured from l-r), were delighted to receive a letter of thanks from Fringe organisers and a Terry's Chocolate Orange provided by Morrisons. The Fringe Hotspots, conceived by former Fringe vice chair, the late Viv Marriott, were planted to brighten up the town and to promote July's Fringe festival.
