Derby Book Festival 2022 opened on Friday 20th May with over 60 events planned in venues across the city over nine days.
Tickets can be booked online (see below) or in person or by phone at QUAD, Derby Theatre and Déda for the events they are hosting.
This year’s Festival is a ‘hybrid’ with in-person, live-streamed and recorded events. A Digital Pass is available giving access to 20 recorded events for six weeks after the Festival ends (from 2 June to 14 July) for £25.
The Great British Sewing Bee’s Esme Young, sponsored by East Midlands Business Chamber, is already sold out, although tickets are available for a live stream and recording of her event.
Highlights of this year’s Festival will include events with The Guardian’s columnist John Crace and political commentator Paul Mason, historian Alison Weir and River Cottage forager, John Wright. The closing event will have a local Derbyshire flavour, featuring wine tasting with wines from Renishaw Hall led by the English Wine Project’s Kieron Atkinson, sponsored by Geldards.
There will also be special events for families at Derby Theatre during the school half term, with three of the most popular children’s authors:
