This September, Derbyshire is celebrating its rich heritage with the first-ever Derbyshire Conservation and Heritage Crafts Festival!
Hosted at the historic Cromford Mills within the Derwent Valley World Heritage site, this free one-day event will showcase a vibrant array of traditional skills. The festival has been organised by the Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust (DHBT), Derbyshire’s leading architectural and building conservation charity, in partnership with Cromford Mills and WeaveKnitIt.
From the delicate art of weaving to the sturdy craft of stone masonry, visitors will have the chance to watch demonstrations, learn from experienced craftspeople, and appreciate the importance of these time-honoured traditions in preserving Derbyshire's unique landscape. The festival aligns perfectly with Heritage Open Days, offering a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating history of Cromford Mills and the surrounding area of Derwent Valley Mills.
