Red, White and Blue Festival
Denby Village hosted the British National Party's annual Red, White and Blue festival from 2007-2009.
The event took place on private land, off Codnor-Denby Lane, to the south of Codnor. In 2008 and 2009, there were counter-demonstrations and organised marches, commencing at the Market Place in Codnor and terminating at the church at the start of Codnor-Denby Lane. The event was heavily policed; the estimated security costs in 2009 were £500,000.
