Celebrate the colours, flavours and community spirit of autumn at the Derwent Valley Autumn Festival, held along the Esplanade at New Norfolk beside the River Derwent.
Set among towering deciduous trees and sweeping river views, the festival captures the relaxed charm of the Derwent Valley at its most picturesque time of year. Visitors can wander through artisan stalls, enjoy local produce, listen to live entertainment and soak up the spectacular autumn foliage that makes this region so loved.
This year, Clyde Mill Distillery is excited to be part of the festivities with our own stall on the Esplanade. We’ll be serving a selection of autumn‑inspired cocktails crafted with our premium spirits; a chance to taste the season through the lens of the Highlands. Guests can also explore our range of whiskies and gins, with bottle sales available on the day for those wanting to take a little piece of Clyde Mill home.
The riverside setting provides the perfect backdrop for a day of community celebration, showcasing the creativity, hospitality and small‑town warmth that define the Derwent Valley.
A much‑loved highlight of the autumn calendar, the Derwent Valley Autumn Festival is a FREE public event and a beautiful way to experience the region in full autumn colour, and we can’t wait to share a dram with you there.
