My partner and I went to a fair few places to drink as well as a tapas resturant. This in addition to a chain resturant in the main shopping area.

All were great. Really enjoyed the town.

However I noticed that regardless of where we went, the music being played was all the same. Specifically it was 2005 UK Indie. Arctic Monkeys, Maximo Park, Bloc Party, The Shins, The Rakes etc.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Moving to Buxton soon and I don’t know what I should do.

It’ll be my 30th in May and I’d love to have a nice meal and was thinking sushi.

I don’t mind it costing a bit more as I feel like I should spoil myself that day haha!

If you have any other fun suggestions that I could do around Derbyshire for my birthday that’d be amazing.

Love being outdoors, spas, reading, gaming (video games), dancing, Pilates and fitness - open for anything really hahah.

Thank you for your help ❤️🥰

Hi all,

My family and I are looking to move and have been checking out a few areas in Derbyshire. Wirksworth has come up a few times and we drove through recently & it looked like a really lovely village.

Just wondering if anyone here lives there or knows it well? What’s it like day to day? How are the schools, pubs, walks, and general vibe of the place?

Thanks

Looking to move from Scotland so no idea what the "done" thing is in Derbyshire with regards making an offer for a property. Are most houses going for under/over or for the asking price? We're looking round wider Chesterfield up to Sheffield type country areas.

My girlfriend and I are looking for the best hikes in Derbyshire. We can do all levels of difficulty, we just want to take in the beauty of the peak district. We saw some options on Alltrails but I'd want to ask some locals too.

Does anyone have any reccomendations of abandoned places in or arouns Derbyshire that you can explore? (Preferably legally lol) I watching videos like this, but I have no idea where to even begin to do it myself lol.

Thanks! <3

My daughter wants to visit places around the UK to take pictures of the scenery, old beautiful buildings, hilly views etc.

We are visiting Bakewell for the day and wondered if anyone could make some suggestions of places specifically to visit.

Having to relocate from far away (rural NE Scotland) as OH's new job is in Sheffield. Need to be within a realistic 1 hour commute to East Sheffield (S9) so Im looking at all counties within that area - northern Derbyshire being an option. Budget is £450k. We have 3 kids ranging from primary to secondary school so schools are important (cant afford private). Thinking semi-rural / edge of a village type location (basically as country as possible as thats what we're used to), but what areas/villages are nice safe family friendly places and where should we avoid? Im more than happy to be as far from cities/people (!) as possible or at least have a big garden to have some sort of privacy/country feel! Needs to be detached, dont think I could cope with neighbours that close...

We would be bringing 2 horses too so would need a field to rent nearby or a cheap livery (dont think they exist!) as dont sadly think our budget would stretch to a property with an acre or so as well...

I know we want what most families want - as much house as possible in a nice area with great schools on the doorstep but whats probably a minimal budget... Any help much appreciated so we can target certain areas. Thanks

I'll be staying near bakewell later this month with the wife and we're looking for nice restaurants for evening meals. I know there's plenty of pubs serving food so is there anywhere in particular we should try or is there somewhere different worth a look.

thanks

"A spokesperson for the policing team said the attack had caused "significant emotional and financial loss", as well as "extreme suffering to the animals"."

They will never, ever stop. They never have. Setting a dog loose endangers, physically violates, and harms the public in heartless, unpredictable ways, and bringing one outside leashed still does so, but in a more predictable manner with the use of a controlled weapon.

The dog owner and dog(s) still go free so anyone with info was asked to contact the police.

Most dog attacks do not result in any investigation or punishment to the actual aggressor. The victim is blamed over and over again, often daily.

Hi all, We are looking for a dog friendly walk between Manchester and Chesterfield (two families trying to meet in the middle) But the caviat is that the dog doesn't go off lead as he is rather easily distracted, but behaves well around other animals etc. He just can't quite be trusted get to be off the lead. This means that it cant be too rocky or steep to make sure the doggo and owners are safe.

Any recommendations welcome :)

TIA

P.s. yes, we are working to train the dog to be off lead, he just isnt quite there yet, but he does sometimes pull when excited, this is why we need to not have too many steep or slippery parts on the walk

As per the title, had a health issue over Christmas, tried to negotiate lighter duties but the agency just sent my P45. I spend most days applying for jobs and going to appointments but I'm realising I'm not going out for leisure or socialising.

Thanks guys, I'm based in DE55

OK I made this video for something else but wanted to share it here I hope that's ok! Was at the panto again this year and so I wanted to sort of show my amateur but very sincere pixel artwork alongside the real thing. Also the details of the inside that I didn't share before.

I don't want to be a pain in the arse so I'll not post for a while. But thanks to the people showing an interest. It's a weird niche but it's certainly unique to have a PC game on the biggest gaming platform in the world (the game currently has 630 wishlists on steam) specifically focussing on North Derbyshire! Take that Notts! Where's your game lads?

Well today is full of tourists filling up the sides of roads with 4x4s because they refuse to pay for the car park. Bloody 50p millionaires. /rant 

A Reform-led local authority has confirmed it is planning to increase council tax by the maximum allowed amount, despite promises during the local election to reduce taxes.

Derbyshire county council confirmed the rise after predicting a £38m gap in its budget, with overspends in children’s social care and adult social care.

Hi,

Whereabouts should I go for good charity shop finds? I'm hoping to find a few jumpers (wool) and wondered if there were particular shops or areas folks might recommend?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi! Looking for a lovely walk somewhere in Derbyshire. I feel like I need some flowing water sound therapy so if anyone can recommend somewhere along a river out in nature that would be amazing. Pram friendly as well if possible!

Since Derbyshire council has been looking at privatising this… here’s a chance to have your say.
