#ThisisDerby is a unique project led by Derby County Community Trust, Derby's Cultural Education Partnership and the City's Sports Forum, who, together, are providing opportunities for young people to take part in high-quality arts, sports and cultural activities.
“There’s nothing to do in derby” is a one day event which will celebrate the talents and achievements of the city’s young people in a vibrant takeover of Derby’s Market Place on Saturday 13th July 2019. Arts, culture and sport activities will bring the Market Place to life as young people share stories of their communities and inspire a city that actually does have a lot to offer. The day will conclude with a spectacular finale.
Walk the Plank is one of the UK’s leading outdoor arts organisations, creating unique outdoor shows across the UK and all over the world. In 2017, they staged Eternal Voyages, the highlight of the Pafos 2017 European Capital of Culture programme, directed by Nick Clarke.
