Events in Derby From 11th May – 17th May 2026

You can find a mix of events across Derby this week, from workshops focused on personal growth to evenings with live music, comedy, and socialising. Look out for sessions hosted at the Fellowship Room next to St. Matthews Church Darley Abbey, a venue used for multiple events including performances of Stags and Hens the Remix and Museum Lates. The Derby Deaf Carers Connect Workshops and the event on supporting children affected by early trauma are both held at this location. There’s also a performance of Brahms' Horn Trio at the Derby Museum of Making, and Kate Rusby plays live as part of her Springshine Tour. For comedy, try Dubrek Studios, which hosts Happy Tuesdays. The Flowerpot in Derby welcomes tribute bands like Hi-On Maiden and Alchemy Live, while the Victoria Inn and The Hairy Dog host regular music nights. Speed dating takes place at Assembly Rooms Derby, and the City’s property meet event is held at the Fellowship Room. If you're in the mood for something different, a live music jam is open to all at Billy Bootleggers in Nottingham, though that’s just outside the city. Travel should be planned with care: the temporary bridge in Derby city centre remains delayed, and parking congestion is a persistent issue in the city centre.
