Arts Derbyshire has teamed up with the Tent People to create a magical mini-tented village to showcase the best of Derbyshire. The first event takes place at the beautiful English Heritage site – Bolsover Castle as part of the Bolsover Festival of Arts.

Arts workshops will be delivered over the weekend by a local arts organisation, Small Print, and another local arts organisation Adverse Camber will lead storytelling sessions throughout the two days. Derby Poetry Festival will also be curating a line up of spoken word artists.

There will be a different performing artist lineup for each tour venue. The musicians for the Bolsover event are Paul Johnstone who will be performing on the 31^st of May and Matt Hill who will be performing on the 1^st of June.
