4–6th September 2026
The much-anticipated Chatsworth Country Fair returns from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th September 2026, bringing three days of countryside spectacle, entertainment and family-friendly fun. Set within the stunning parkland surrounding Chatsworth House, the fair is just a 15-minute drive from Darley Dale, making it an ideal highlight of a late-summer break in the Peak District.
One of the UK’s largest and most celebrated country fairs, the event is packed with action from morning to evening. The Grand Ring hosts a full programme of thrilling displays, including aerobatic performances, equestrian showcases and military demonstrations, while the surrounding showground is alive with activity.
Visitors can enjoy traditional fairground rides, rural skills demonstrations, countryside crafts and shopping stalls offering everything from artisan gifts to outdoor clothing. The ever-popular Fine Food Village is a major draw, featuring local producers, street food and regional specialities – perfect for grazing your way through the day.
Food lovers will also want to spend time at the Cookery Theatre, where celebrity chefs and talented local cooks share live demonstrations, seasonal recipes and plenty of culinary inspiration. With so much to see and do, the Chatsworth Country Fair makes for a memorable day out – or a fantastic centrepiece to a relaxing countryside stay.
