Thanks Derby for joining us and making the Darley Park Concert so special yesterday (Sun 23 Aug)! Sinfonia Viva brought the Darley Park Weekender to a spectacular close with music from dramatic films and magical musicals. Singer Red Music brought her powerhouse vocals, Lucy Nolan-Harpist and the Derby Harp Ensemble showcased stunning skill and The Wellbeing Choir of the University Hospitals of Derby & Burton (Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity) wowed the crowd with their harmonies! The evening ended with spectacular pyrotechnic and laser display, transforming the night sky into a sea of colour! 🌠

That wraps up another fantastic Darley Park Weekender! Thank you to all the artists, sponsors, volunteers and of course, the audience for making this weekend so special! Keep an eye on our socials for announcements on next year’s line up! 👀

Next year’s Darley Park Weekender will be taking place from Fri 20 to Sun 22 Aug 2027, mark your calendars and we hope to see you there again for another weekend of great music! 🥳
