What's on in the Peak District & Derbyshire
Whatever time of year you visit, there are always exciting events in Derbyshire and the Peak District to look forward to!

There are light festivals and plenty of spooky Halloween fun in autumn, and there’s no better place at Christmas with traditional Christmas markets, magical experiences in our famous stately homes, and lots of opportunities for the children to visit Father Christmas.
