Such fun! 🤩

FOUR WEEKS TODAY we will see the 2026 spectacular parade of decorated and illuminated boats on the River Derwent for the first time 🤩

The parade is the centrepiece of every Illuminations night. The boat themes change every year and remain a closely guarded secret until opening night!

Our discounted Preview Night takes place on Saturday 12th September. Have you booked in yet at www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/illuminations ?

The wonderful Wombles Orinoco and Great Uncle Bulgaria will be greeting visitors that night - courtesy of our main sponsor The Heights of Abraham.

Preview Night will also feature a 'K-Pop Party Experience' with shows at 6pm and 7pm - expect Big K-Pop routines, bold characters and loads of energy.

It's only £1 entry for accompanied youngsters aged 16 and under and adults pay just *£5* online for Preview Night.

Plus, we'll have all the usual stalls and kiddies' fairground in beautiful Derwent Gardens, as well as the fantastic Paris Bubbles Entertainment, circus skills and stilt walkers.

After opening night, the 2026 Illuminations will continue every Saturday and Sunday from 19th September to 1st November, with fireworks finales every October Saturday, plus the final night 👍
