Japan Fest's Aim
For the 3rd consecutive year, we are delighted to bring Japan Fest back to Cromford! A celebration of Japanese culture set within the historic surroundings of Cromford Mills, this event is carefully curated by a passionate team dedicated to sharing a taste of Japan with visitors of all ages. Visitors can enjoy a wide selection of authentic food, unique traders, artisan crafts, cultural activities, and traditional experiences, creating a welcoming atmosphere where people can browse, shop, eat, and discover the many facets of Japanese culture. Our aim is to both support and celebrate the Japanese community while providing an accessible and enjoyable way for people to experience a culture that many would otherwise have little opportunity to engage with.

HOST
Otaku World Derby
Otaku World is passionate team that envisions bringing all anime and Japanese enthusiast together under one roof. Our first steps in achieving this was the opening of our anime store in Derby, it has proved very successful. Our second step towards our goal was the introduction of our anime event, Otaku Link.
Otaku Link’s foundation is built upon the idea of giving anime fans a place to relax and enjoy everything anime has to offer. We are different then other conventions as we have constructed the event in a way that promotes social interaction. Otaku Link is better described as an anime club, where attendees are actively engaged in activities based around Anime thus creating long lasting friendships and an inclusive community. We are now taking the third step in our adventure by incorporating the vast array of other parts of Japanese culture, this brings us to Japan Fest.
