In these current uncertain times we’re planning to run again! But -isn’t there alway- the festival will need to adapt.
We want to run something that’s as magical as ever but also something that’s legal and – above all – safe, so we will probably have to make changes as we go. Whatever we do we’ll still be aiming to create that magical Stainsby atmosphere and that magical Stainsby experience.
Who’s on?
Last month, we recorded the first of what we hope will become a more regular series of video blogs from the Barn, and we're delighted to be able to share the first of these with you today!
We hope you enjoy this short video which takes a look at what our garden volunteers have been up to throughout lockdown, and be sure to let us know what you might like us to feature in future. A thank you must go to Mark from Bracken Media for helping us to record this footage.
After having had to close our doors to the public at the beginning of November 156 days ago, we're delighted to report that Dronfield Hall Barn will finally be re-opening from tomorrow (Monday 12th of April) for outdoor hospitality!
A warm welcome to Spring 2021 from the team at LEVEL! We've got great things planned for this year and we're so happy to have you here with us to share them with.

Organisations in Derbyshire are being invited to bid for funding to deliver projects that will get people back into work and boost the local economy.

Derby Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) has become one of the first in the UK to be awarded a BID industry kitemark for the quality of its work.
The Cathedral Quarter BID, which was first established in 2008, is one of more than 300 business-led partnerships operating in the UK.
Its governance and quality have been scrutinised against 11 new standards which have been developed by The BID Foundation alongside governments and BIDs to encourage transparency and responsible governance in the sector.
Poet Laureate Simon Armitage is to visit our newest library as part of his national A to Z Libraries Tour.
The idea of the tour is to work through the alphabet and visit libraries representing each letter. At these venues he will give readings from his work and be joined by local poets.
Libraries in areas beginning with A and B were encouraged to invite Simon to visit on his tour and our invitation was accepted for Belper to represent a place beginning with B.
