Close-Act will also give visitors a free preview of the magnificent giant characters on Friday evening as they parade through the St Peters Quarter and Cathedral Quarter.
Cathedral Green will welcome award-winning Catalan circus company Los Galindos who will perform ‘UduL’ in a small yurt with four one-hour shows – afternoon and early evening – across both days.
The theme of Derby Festé this year is ‘Space, Moon & Tides’ and all the other performances are free of charge including ‘Museum of the Moon’ by UK artist Luke Jerram which will be installed in the majestic Derby Cathedral for visitors to enjoy in the run up to and throughout Derby Festé.
