On Saturday 8th July, the festival then moves across to manor gardens, Civic Hall and the Barn with a variety of acts, food and entertainments throughout the day. Saturday night will see the Greentop Circus performing a cabaret style show at the Civic Hall.

The final day of the festival will once again see a mix of acts, food and entertainments throughout the day.

Sam Reavey, Creative Manager at Dronfield Heritage Trust commented: “We are super excited to be bringing the Arts Festival. This year we have moved the date to July, so it will be even more anticipated when the date comes around.

“The Arts Festival is designed to bring the whole community together. We offer a wide range of different entertainments and refreshments and make as much as we can free. The festival has the opportunity to bring communities together and instils a sense of community pride. We hope our festival teach people new things, and strengthen relationships.

“The footfall our the weekend goes into the 1000s, and is the perfect opportunity for businesses to connect with new or existing customers. Being a part of the festival hopefully benefits businesses both economically and holistically.”
