We have the pleasure of inviting you to a special service at Derby Cathedral taking place on Tuesday 14 July 2026.

The service, which is held at the beginning of our Awards week, will celebrate the work of the University of Derby. The service will be attended by representatives of other faiths and will include participation from various traditions.

There will be a display of student artwork from the School of Arts, and refreshments will be served after the service.

Everyone is very welcome to attend. Tickets are not required for this event, but we ask that graduates RSVP using the form emailed to them at the start of July.
