‘The thrill of the hill’ can only mean one thing - The Derby Festival.

Children cheering, champagne popping, track pulsating. And what better way to celebrate the world’s greatest carnival than a spot in The Derby Family Festival. To FREE admission for children up to 11yrs!


The Derby Family Festival is a ticketed enclosure on The Hill. With a great location, close to the action on the racetrack, there is plenty of family fun guaranteed and selected rides are free within this enclosure.

 

Picnics are welcome within this area and you can bring foldable chairs and tables, too. Our security team will check picnics at the entrance as limited alcohol is permitted per person. You can see our picnic policy here.
