A day of talks, films, workshops and musical performances at QUAD exploring the folklore, heritage and landscape of the Peak District.
Well Dressed returns to QUAD on Sunday 29 November, this time with the title Dark Peak // White Peak. It's the latest in a series run by Russ Beresford, a music industry manager, and the name itself is a nod to well-dressing, the Derbyshire tradition of decorating wells with flowers and petals.
This edition turns its attention to the Peak District, looking at its folklore, heritage and landscape. It's a broad remit, and the day is built around that: talks, films, workshops and musical performances all working their way through the same ground. The whole thing runs from midday until late, so you can drift in and out rather than committing to one long stretch.
QUAD is a good fit for a day like this. It's a cinema, gallery, café bar and workshop all in one, and it also houses exhibitions by local, national and international artists. Having the cinema and the gallery in the same building means the films and the talks can sit alongside the music and the workshops without you having to move across town. If you're coming for the whole day, the café bar is there to keep you going between sessions.
