Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
My long weekend away is now going to be Derby based.
What do local people do in local places?
Is there culture or kink for my Saturday evening?
I'm going to do some walking but having a destination is always a good thing. |

There is a swingers club in Derby which is running some kink based events.
However, I'm afraid I cannot recommend the venue (but I have no experience of the event). |

Non recommendations are very useful too. I'll have to see who I can ensnare for Saturday evening entertainment then. |

I was in Matlock last week to see a comedy show. Speaking of which, Joel Dommett is playing on Friday night.
The local swinging club is The Attic. This is a bit like Marmite. However, I like it very much and whilst I won't be there over the weekend due to work, my friend Gemma shall be, along with a host of other lovely people.  |

The public transport would take you out to the local peak district, or an easy drive. The city centre is ok, as it is compact and easy to walk around. There are other clubs that are not far as well, giving you more options. Check out Derby theatre, in case something good is on. I dont live in Derby but prefer it to birmingham for most things. Hope you have a great time  |

"Not sure I would of chose derby for a long week end lol.
"
I was going for one day and night with a friend but now that she isn't coming over my other plans have changed so I thought I'd make a weekend of it and go walking a bit and seeing things.

Thanks for that. I will have a look at the theatre.

Yeah, thanks, only just spotted the thread.
Not been to the Theatre myself Lickety, but I'll check out what's on and let you know.
There is also the Silk Mill Industrial Museum (set on the site of the world's first factory). The Arboretuum is Britain's first public park. The Joseph Wright Institute is worth a visit as well.
As others have said, it is a tremendous base to visit places like The Peak District, Chatsworth House, Crich Tramway Museum or Buxton Opera House.
It's a compact City with lots of pubs and restaurants all within easy walking/staggering distance.
Hope this has been of some help and it would be nice to meet up again and escort you round some of the places that Derby has to offer |

Thank you for this list. I'll have to find out how close I am to the City.

*armwrestles with Mr Who for Lickety's affections"
Whilst they are both locked in combat, sat still, glaring at each other going for a psychological edge, Tina starts putting make up on their faces and asks if anyone has a pair of handcuffs, as this is a golden opportunity. |

And in addition to all that, The Football Season kicks off on the Saturday and Derby are at home to Rotherham, there you go that's the 3 to 5 slot filled...
I would back up the suggestions if you have a car to visit Bakewell and Matlock Bath and Chatsworth House too.
There's also Major Oak which is about an hours drive from Derby in Sherwood Forest and that weekend is the conclusion of Robin Hood week. You never know you might find some men in tights... |

"Whatever you do,don't go to Derby Royal after a bad bout of diarrhoea! 
I've got no idea what any of that means.
"
Let's just say I came back from Spain many moons ago while I lived in the Derby area with a bad dose of diarrhoea. It was so bad my housemate took me to Derby Royal Hospital. The examination I was given, dry style, by the doctor on duty in A&E cured my diarrhoea. I didn't dare crap for a week |

"I'm near Alfreton with a colleague that weekend for some training...let me know if there's going to be a mini social and I'll see if I can get away in the evening "
I'm thinking of going to a club on Saturday night with a Fab person. Xotix??
A social gathering and/or with others would also be Fab.

I usually forget sensible, and I think you will have a fabulous time here. Worth adding if you will have a car or not LS. |

"This is a joke right?"
Why would it be? The forum has been really helpful in finding things to do in different areas.
My trip to Glasgow was really great thanks to the advice from the Glaswegians on the Scottish forum.

It's beginning to look like I'm going to be busy.
Post if you fancy a mini social and we can all have a drink somewhere on Saturday.
