May to Aug 2026 What's on Guide
Mon 2 Mar 2026
Our May–August What’s On Guide has landed - and it’s packed with feel-good moments to fill your diary.
At Derby Arena, get ready for pop-powered nights like Taylormania and the much-loved Illegal Eagles, plus ultimate throwback evenings with Lost in Music and That'll Be The Day.
Outdoor Theatre returns to Markeaton Park with open-air performances of Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet - the perfect way to spend a summer evening. And our parks will be buzzing with even more excitement, from the Big One and a superhero picnic in the park to a vibrant community fun day. There’s truly something for everyone.
Across the city, don’t miss the St George's Day celebrations and 50:50, while Derby Market Hall plays host to a fantastic programme of events.
And if you can’t wait until May to enjoy time with friends and family, there’s plenty happening sooner. Join us for the Chapel Street Arts Centre Open Day, experience iconic rock with London Symphonic Rock Orchestra, and spend another unforgettable evening with the Dubliners Encore.
Take a look, start planning, and make this season one to remember.
