How to invite the Mayor to an event
The Mayor has a civic duty to represent and promote the City of Derby. The Mayor is always keen to help support events and causes which raise the profile of the city and it's residents, both locally and further afield.
You can invite the Mayor you need to complete our online form. Invitations must be submitted at least 14 days before the event.
If you approach the Mayor directly, either by email or in person, this will not constitute a booking until it has been confirmed by the Mayor's Office.
The Mayor has a busy schedule and it isn’t always possible to attend every event they are invited to. Check our list of mayoral engagements for more information.
A Guide to Office of the Mayor for 2024-25 is available to download.
