Local growers, producers and independent food traders fill the Market Hall with fresh produce, artisan food and seasonal flavours, all in one relaxed, welcoming space.

It's the only shopping trip where carrying a bag of carrots makes you feel like a functioning adult. Nobody needs to know about the Greggs on the way home.

📷 - @tenji.derby

Tenji serves Japanese sushi and ramen, and the Unagi Don is grilled eel glazed in a sweet, savoury sauce, on fluffy steamed rice with miso soup. The Tonkatsu Ramen has a rich, creamy pork bone broth, chashu pork and a soft-boiled egg.

There's a Katsu Curry too, crispy golden chicken under a rich Japanese curry sauce, for anyone who sees ramen and orders curry anyway. Reservations are by message on Facebook or Instagram.

ACTIVITY ALLEY

🛠️ - Assemble: Derby's Making Festival - Over Sixty Makers, Poems Typed to Order and Your Best Chance Yet of Finishing a Project!
📍 - Museum of Making
📅 - Sat 24th Oct
⏰ - 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM
🎟️ - £5 for ages 16 and over, free for under 16s
📷 - @derbymuseums

We flagged this one on Monday, but with the doors opening tomorrow it deserves a second shout. More than sixty artists and makers take over the Museum of Making, from ceramics and embroidery to letterpress printing, robotics and metalwork.

Emily Holtom will type you a personalised poem on a vintage typewriter, and Kids Invent Stuff run drop-in activities for the little ones. Last entry is 3:30pm, so no arriving at four and blaming the traffic.

HOUSE OF THE WEEK

🏡 - A Detached Cottage With an Aga, Nearly Three Quarters of an Acre and Trees You'll Have to Learn the Names Of!
💰 - Guide Price £695,000
📍 - Hill Cottage, Shirley, Ashbourne
🛏️ - 3 Bedrooms - 2 Bathrooms
📷 - @emilybillson_fishergerman

A detached three-bedroom cottage on the edge of Shirley, a few miles from Ashbourne, with countryside views, an Aga and a sitting room with a bay window and open fireplace. Outside are 0.73 acres of lawn, hedging and specimen trees.

It could do with modernising, so the decorating arguments are all yours. There's a boot room and pantry for muddy wellies and the jam you swear you'll make.
