Help us plan Pride Park, Derby today. 🖤🤍
We’re working towards one of our biggest community projects yet — co-hosted with @TXTWRK.com, supporting the TheUKparty.com movement and a much bigger ambition:
Getting people involved again.
In politics. In their communities. In creating things. In solving problems. And in supporting the next generation of innovators, designers, creatives and community leaders.
📍 Pride Park, Derby
🎪 TXTWRK Annual 2026
🌍 Building towards TXTWRK Annual 2027
Want to play a part?
This isn’t an event we’re asking you to simply attend.
We’re inviting you to help shape it.
Whether you’ve got an idea, want to have your say, can contribute something, want to volunteer, represent an organisation, showcase your work — or simply think “I’d like to play a role” — there’s a way in.
Who do we want to connect with today?
1. Community groups & grassroots organisations
2. Artists, musicians, performers & entertainers
3. Designers, makers, developers & innovators
4. Young people with ideas that deserve a platform
5. Schools, colleges & universities
6. Local businesses & independent traders
7. Charities, CICs & voluntary organisations
8. Sports clubs & community teams
9. Food, hospitality & event traders
10. Photographers, filmmakers & content creators
11. Speakers, educators & workshop leaders
12. Event, production, staging & technical people
13. Volunteers who simply want to help
14. People interested in politics and improving how our communities are represented
15. Anyone doing something brilliant in their community that Derby needs to know about
And if we’ve missed you — tell us.
🏢 WANT TO CONTRIBUTE?
Apply to our Business Checklist if you want to contribute to the event, bring an idea, offer a service, get involved as an organisation or explore what role you could play.
👉 https://txtwrk.com/viewPost.php?id=3280&item_id=1762&comment_id=395
🙋 WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
You can also get involved through the TXTWRK volunteering route.
👉 https://txtwrk.com/viewPost.php?id=3287&item_id=1604
Choose whichever route best reflects how you want to get involved — or explore both.
You don’t need experience running events.
You don’t need a huge following.
You don’t even need to know exactly what your role could be yet.
This event isn’t only about what happens on stage.
It’s about showing what becomes possible when a city connects its people, ideas, skills and opportunities.
You can already explore what’s happening across our community through the All Activity kit on Derby.support. Add your location to TXTWRK and your activity can also be indexed through the Link Menu on Derby.support, helping people discover what’s happening around them.
And Pride Park is only the beginning.
Our ambition is for this experience to lead into TXTWRK Annual 2027 — connecting communities across the country through a live link to stage and working towards welcoming up to 250,000 people.
We’ve never delivered a major public-facing event on this scale before.
That’s part of the point.
We want to document the journey, share what works, share what doesn’t, and ultimately show other communities how they can build something too.
Have you already been playing a role in your community?
Could this be your groundbreaking opportunity?
Come and have your say. Come and contribute. Come and volunteer. Come and help shape it.

It's an open invitation to come forward, have a say and show us what role you want to play.
