What is Stainsby Festival?

Stainsby Festival is a well-established, intimate and family friendly event in a beautiful rural setting. Held in large marquees on a greenfield site at Brunt's Farm in the picturesque hamlet of Stainsby Derbyshire, it has stunning views across the valley to the National Trust's Hardwick Hall. Stainsby will celebrate its astonishing 42nd festival next year. It's a registered charity and a not-for-profit event run entirely by unpaid volunteers. All proceeds go back into the event. Period. We like it that way and that's how it's staying!
