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 celebrated its astonishing 42nd festival this 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.

Stainsby has everything: great folk and world music in traditional marquees, crafts stalls, children’s entertainment, music workshops of every kind, a singer’s competition and walkabout events throughout the weekend with camping and car parking thrown in. We like it that way and that's how it's staying!
