The Derbyshire Creative Heritage Conference is coming to Chesterfield in March. Entitled Derbyshire Makes: Honouring Tradition | Inspiring Future Makers it will shine a light on heritage crafts and skills, giving the national, countywide and local perspective on this important sector. 

The conference will also celebrate some of the traditional crafts associated with the region and discover how they can be protected and evolve for future generations, with speakers, live demonstrations and ‘have a go’ opportunities for delegates.

 The Derbyshire Creative Heritage Conference is a biennial event, organised by Junction Arts bringing together experts, creatives, volunteers and those who love heritage, to share ideas, network, and develop partnerships for the future.
