‘The thrill of the hill’ can only mean one thing - The Derby.
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.
The Derby Family Festival is a ticketed enclosure on The Hill. It will be in a new location for 2023, closer to the action on the racetrack. There will be plenty of family fun with the return of the Main Stage and a new food festival. Selected rides will be 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.
Your ticket will include:
- Exclusive access to a bright and colourful, family friendly haven on the famous Hill at the Derby
- All day entertainment for the whole family, from tots to young teens, parents and grandparents
- Take your pick from a fun-packed programme of events and performances
