The Ilkeston Fair is running for an extra day this year, which means road closures will be in place from start of service on Tuesday 14th October until 9am Monday 20th October.
🚌 During this time:
- Buses won’t be able to serve town centre stops and will divert to nearby alternatives.
- On Sunday, my15 and other Ilkeston services will run to a slightly different timetable.
⚠️ Please note: the one-way system during the fair can be confusing, with buses to Cotmanhay, Derby, and EMA all heading in the same direction.
Here is where to catch your bus whilst the Ilkeston Charter Fair is on:


❌ Stops not served during the fair:
• Ilkeston Market Place stops 1–5
• Queen Street
• Health Centre (both stops)
👋 Our team leaders and customer helpers will be out and about to guide you — look out for them if you’re unsure where to catch your bus.
Thanks for your patience and enjoy the fair! 🎠
