The Peaks Biggest Party! For one weekend a year, the stunning Peak District countryside becomes home to Y Not Festival. Since 2006, when it began life as an overspilling house party in the deepest, darkest Derbyshire; there has been steady, organic growth. 20 years on, we still have the same ethos at heart. Great people, having a great time, makes a great festival. With panoramic countryside views, amazing music, comedy and cabaret, family-friendly activities galore, and more quality food and drink than you can shake a stick at... all you need to bring is yourself, some wellies and a killer fancy dress outfit.
