not the best nightlife ever, full of students
In a nutshell
A nice City to live in, friendly people & good nightlife
slothtraveller Says: Derby Cathedral definitely does not have the lofty feel of most cathedrals, in fact it is the smallest Church of England cathedral in the whole country. Formerly All Saints Church, it was granted cathedral status as recently as 1927, however there has been a church on this...
slothtraveller Says: This memorial, including a sculpture by Arthur George Walker, can be found outside Derby's Guildhall. It was constructed in 1924 as a lasting memorial to those soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War. The memorial also features an additional inscription...
slothtraveller Says: The Derby Museum and Art Gallery is a great place to spend an hour or two. It really gives you a wonderful overview of the history of the city and county of Derbyshire, as well as showcasing the stunning paintings of esteemed local artist Joseph Wright (1734-1794) who is...
zuriga Says: Stainsby Mill is right outside the entrance to Hardwick Hall (see for directions). It's a working mill and the National Trust people seem eager to explain all the workings of this tranquil watermill that has been in operation since the 13th century. One can buy freshly...
zuriga Says: Hardwick Hall is one of the many National Trust sites to visit in Derbyshire. I thought it was one of the most interesting places I've visited since moving to England 5 years ago. It is really two old homes in one, although the Old Hall is just an empty shell. But... it is...

bonio Says: Like so many cities in the UK, Derby is not particularly attractive, the proximity to some stunning countryside is a major selling point though. Anyway, did spend sometime in the city, here are a few photos I took while Mrs Bonio was enjoying her shopping trip.

~ Empress Balti House ~: ~ Our Local & Favourite Indian Restaurant ~
Heavens-Mirror Says: I never used to be a fan of Indian Cusine until i came to this restaurant. It is convienently located just around the corner from where my Fiance lives. The staff are very friendly and always provide a quick service, the food is quickly served nice and piping hot and the...
zuriga Says: MASA came highly recommended and did not disappoint. This is a first class, wonderful restaurant that shouldn't be missed when visiting Derby. Very unusual in a reconverted church, MASA has a fantastic chef, and the service couldn't have been better. The desserts were...
Babington Arms: Good food and real ale heaven
bonio Says: One of the JD Wetherspoon chain of pubs found all over the UK, this one probably the best I've visited for choice and quality of the beers on offer. around 15 to choose from kept us interested for the evening.Food is reasonable too, typical JDW menu, all nicely cooked, tasty...
Bar Aura: The Place To Be!!!!!!!
DaveandsamT Says: We visited Bar Aura on a student night which they hold every Monday and Wednesday and it was fantastic!!!! The drinks are cheap as chips!! The staff are very friendly and seem up for a laugh. The music was mostly Commercial stuff which was fantastic. Completely different to...
~ Walkabout ~: ~ Excellent Prices on All Drinks ~
Heavens-Mirror Says: Walkabout is quite a new pub in the centre of Derby town. It is an Australian bar and has been popular since it opened. Drinks are a great price and they also have student nights.They also show all live sports on a huge flatscreen aswell as on small screens throughout the...
Heavens-Mirror Says: The Spondon Flyer is the best way to get into Derby City centre by bus as it is a direct route from all areas in Spondon. It is £1.50 per adult for a single ticket or £2.90 for a return. They run every 15 minutes and it only takes 10 minutes to get into the city centre. It...
leics Says: The nearest airport to Derby is Nottingham East Midlands (which is neither in nor near to Nottingham!). It serves several budget airlines as well as mainstream ones.It's a small airport, with just one terminal. There are places to eat/drink/shop, but most of these are beyond...
Helpfulness
The main shopping area in Derby starts near the Cathedral and follows Iron Gate into Cornmarket and then St Peter’s Street, all of which is pedestrianised. At the bottom is the massive Eagle Shopping Centre which is currently being extended further with completion expected by the end of 2007. Farmers markets take place on the third Thursday of each month in Market Place.

St_Vincent Says: Derby County Football Club started in 1884 and they were a founder member of the Football League when it was formed four years later. For most of their time they have played at The Baseball Ground but in 1997 they moved to their present home the Pride Park Stadium. One of...
Derbyshire County Cricket Club
St_Vincent Says: Derby is the home of Derbyshire County Cricket Club which is situated on Grandstand Road just off the Pentagon Roundabout. Within the same complex is a health club, Damon’s Restaurant and the Days Hotel (q.v.). The club are currently playing in the second divisions of the...
slothtraveller Says: I like cities where there are random performances going on in the streets, be it fire-eaters, jugglers, mime-artists or whatever.In Derby's pedestrianised shopping district, I stumbled across a performance by a couple of Native American Indians! I was definitely not...
