Cirque de la Mode - Derby Days Out

Witness Cirque de la Mode: A Three-Day Celebration of Style, Design & Innovation at Derby Market Hall.

Produced by Eredità & aDesso

Step into a world where high fashion meets historic architecture. This August, the iconic Derby Market Hall transforms into a vibrant hub of style for Cirque de la Mode - an immersive three-day fashion festival.

Bringing together regional design talent, textile artisans, and style enthusiasts, Cirque de la Mode offers an unmissable weekend packed with spectacular runway shows, hands-on masterclasses, creative presentations, and industry-focused design talks. Whether you are looking to refine your own design skills, hear from fashion pioneers, or get exclusive front-row access to the region’s latest collections, there is something for everyone.

Event Highlights

Friday: Ignite Your Creativity

Roll up your sleeves with art and textile sessions. Kids can kick off their morning with a fun design introductory class, followed by afternoon and evening adult workshops where you can develop your sketchbook skills or learn to sew a bespoke tote bag from scratch.

Saturday: The Glitz & The Glamour

The centre stage comes alive with visionary Creative Presentations alongside two high-energy, spectacular live Runway Shows. Elevate your experience with a premium Seated Ticket, which includes an exclusive front-row view, a complimentary glass of crisp Prosecco, and a curated fashion goodie bag.

Sunday: Inside the Fashion Mind

Dedicate your Sunday to the business, heritage, and history of style. Bring the little ones to the Sunday Kids Design Class, or pull up a chair in the vibrant Caffè Prosecco for a series of ongoing Fashion Business & Design Talks led by industry insiders throughout the day.
