A Year of Celebration and Community: 2025 Events Round-Up at Derbyshire County Cricket Club
As the year draws to a close, Derbyshire County Cricket Club is proud to look back on an unforgettable calendar of events that brought thousands of guests through our doors. From vibrant family occasions to high-profile corporate gatherings and spectacular live entertainment, 2025 showcased the versatility, atmosphere and hospitality that make our venue one of Derbyshire’s leading conference and event destinations.
Family Fun Days That Brought the Community Together
Our popular Family Fun Days returned bigger and better, with one of the years highlights being our event hosted for Tioga. With engaging games, food stalls and entertainment throughout the grounds, families enjoyed memorable days in a friendly and lively setting.
'Tioga Fest was a great success. A very enjoyable day which was helped by great weather.
I didn't really appreciate how large the space was on that side of the ground, really useful.' - Tioga
A Summer of Music and Unmissable Tribute Concerts
This year welcomed two hugely successful tribute shows: The Taylor Swift Experience and Oasis 96. Each performance drew fantastic crowds who packed the venue with nostalgia, energy and outstanding live music.
Corporate Excellence: Meetings & Large Conferences
Throughout the year, we were delighted to host a range of board meetings and professional gatherings. Our conference facilities welcomed organisations from across the region, delivering full-day and multi-day events from 6 to 300 delegates. With flexible rooms, modern AV solutions and dedicated event support, businesses continued to trust us as a hub for collaboration and innovation.
'Well done to everyone.
Secondly, the venue, food, and service from the team on the day and throughout the planning process has been first class, and a special thanks to the two guys who gave up an hour of their time to watch 20 middle-aged men attempt a bit of cricket!!
But my final thanks, and upmost respect is towards Tyler. She has been amazing and is a huge credit to you. Her approach, dedication, and can-do attitude was so nice.' - The Central Co-op
Private Celebrations and Milestone Moments
Birthday parties, anniversaries, weddings and bespoke private gatherings all found a home at the Club in 2025. Our adaptable spaces and tailored packages helped create personalised experiences for every celebration, large or small.
'We just wanted to say a massive thank you from both us and our families for everything you did to make our wedding reception so special. From the first email to our little conversation on the night itself, you have been so great! Your calmness and organisation made sure everything ran smoothly.
The venue was perfect and all the little touches you helped us with made it that extra special.
I will definitely be recommending yourselves to anyone I know.' - Private Celebration
Dinners & Award Ceremonies
We were proud to host a number of prestigious dinners and award evenings, including the highlight of the Club’s social calendar: the Derbyshire County Cricket Club Player of the Year Awards. This standout occasion celebrated outstanding achievements on and off the field, with players, partners and supporters joining together for a night of recognition and entertainment.
'I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help both leading up to the Ceremony and on the actual evening, everything was perfect, I can’t remember the name of the lady that you first introduced me to, but she was amazing! I can’t thank her enough, she was always asking if I needed anything and helped us with all the set up and during the evening we had to add extra chairs and she was nothing but helpful, please could you pass on my thanks to her as well as she really couldn’t do enough,
Having you and her as the team helping us last night really made the Event so much better and allowed everything to run smoothly, so thank you, I really appreciate it.' Derbyshire Constabulary Headquarters
