OVERFLOW CAMPING FOR DERBYFEST ✨

You’ve asked, we’ve listened!! There is nothing worse than wanting to lock in for a fun weekend in Derby and not knowing if you can get a camping spot!

So for this weekend we’ve opened up an overflow camping site to take the stress away thanks to some pretty epic local families!

📍 Derby Recreation (Cricket) Ground

This space is strictly for fully self-contained motorhomes/vans only. Please note there are no toilet facilities on site, so you’ll need to be completely self-sufficient.

Expect a little country character along the way — this is Derby after all, so the odd bit of cow poo comes with the territory!

You must book a ticket via the link in our bio or directly here: https://events.humanitix.com/derbyfest-overflow-camping

Gate will open Friday!

Come race enduro next weekend 👊🏽👊🏽

Maps have been updated for DerbyFest, password has been removed and all is good in the world.

These numbers are very exciting for Dorset! 🌿

A $3.25m investment has transformed a tiny Tasmanian town into Australia’s mountain-biking mecca, and an economic hub for the region. Inside the numbers of the Blue Derby 👉 https://bit.ly/4pzqk3r

Lovely to host the Governor of Tasmania, Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker and husband Professor Don Chalmers in Derby today.
The weather really turned it on for their visit. 🌞
The pair have enjoyed this special place a few times over her tenure as Governor and today was no different, showing a great interest in Derby’s operations, growth and undoubted success for the state.

The visit comes just a few days before Derby hosts the Professional Trail Builders Association’s global conference, people are rolling in from all around the world as we speak before it kicks off next Tuesday!
