Derby Museum and Art Gallery is home to a large collection of paintings by local artist Joseph Wright. The city is also the home of Royal Crown Derby porcelain.
For an evening out, the Cathedral Quarter is full of independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. QUAD shows independent films and exhibitions, and Derby Theatre puts on plays and family shows throughout the year. Derby Market Hall has been restored and now has a food hall and local traders. Derbion has all the big high street names for shopping.
Parks, rivers and the Peak District
There’s plenty of green space nearby. Darley Park and Markeaton Park are both close by for walks and runs. You can follow the River Derwent to Darley Abbey, a historic mill village with a café and riverside paths. For a day out, the Peak District is about 30 minutes away by car, with countryside walks, villages and stately homes to explore.
