About
Junction Arts and Derbyshire Countryside Service invite you to a weekend of arts and well-being activities in a beautiful setting by the historic Chesterfield Canal. Enjoy crafting and performances and take part in one of our workshops.
The Tapton Lock Festival is a celebration of performance and hands on 'arts' workshops and wellbeing activities at Tapton Lock on the restored Chesterfield Canal. Visitors will be invited to join in and have a go at traditional crafts including wet and needle felting, spinning and weaving as well as enjoying performance art from local groups. Ukrainian dancers will perform and the local Asian Association will provide tasty treats.
Alongside the 'arts' workshops, there will be opportunities to enjoy the water with have-a-go canoeing and trips on the Chesterfield Canal Trust's historic narrowboat, the John Varley II. If water isn't your thing, try scaling the dizzy heights on our climbing wall and take in a different view of the local landscape. This family-friendly weekend event takes place along the banks of the beautiful Chesterfield Canal.
We are planning an exciting and dynamic programme of activities for the whole family to enjoy, including performances, art workshops, outdoor ‘have a go’ activities and refreshments.
There is no parking at this event (Except for blue badge), please walk or cycle to us if possible. Please be considerate of our neighbours if parking close by. The events field is grassed, with a surfaced path. Manual wheelchair users may require some assistance.
