We hope you had a great Christmas and New Year – ours was fantastic with over 19,000 of you taking a spin on the Derby Christmas Ice Rink, 34,000 of you visiting the Christmas Arts & Craft Fair and over 6,000 coming to watch Naughty Meg and the Christmas Elves. We’re excited to announce that the pantomime is back for this year and already selling fast.

We hope you’ll join us as we open-sesame on a pantomime of pure sparkle and shine as Aladdin is staged at the incredible new Derby Arena.

We’ll keep the kids entertained with Puss in Boots, Sing-along-a Frozen and The Basil Brush Show, and we’ve also got a great programme of music in May, with Corey Mwamba, Folk Rising, Miranda Sykes & Rex Preston, Ga Ga, Dreaming of Kate, The Billy Fury Years and The Pink Floyd Show.

There’s plenty to see and do at Derby LIVE as the season changes from Spring into Summer, with comedy from Andy Parsons and Gervase Phinn, music from Ray Quinn and drama from Derby audience favourite, writer Tim Elgood who returns to the Guildhall Theatre with Unforgettable, a poignant play from New Perspectives Theatre Company about growing up and growing old.
