A Weekend of Handmade Everything, a Sewing Bee in a 1783 Mill, Plus Whitney Houston Sung in a Cathedral!

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND

🧶 - Artisans Uncovered - Two Days of Handmade Everything, Easy to Walk Into and Hard to Walk Out Of!
📍 - Derby Market Hall
📅 - Sat 10th to Sun 11th Oct

📷 - @derbymarkethall

The Market Hall gives both days of the weekend to makers, artists and independent traders, with handcrafted goods, one-off creations and local flavours on every side.

You can arrive with a plan to buy one present for someone else. Statistically, you will leave with something for yourself and a mild argument about where it is going to live!

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍖 - The Nines - Seven-Hour Beef Ribs, Dynamite King Prawns and a Chocolate Sphere Full of Brownie Bites!
📍 - 9 London Road
⏰ - Mon to Thu 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM
⏰ - Fri to Sat 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM
⏰ - Sun 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM
📷 - @theninesderby

Your group chat has been arguing about where to eat since Tuesday. This ends it. The BBQ beef ribs are slow cooked for seven hours in The Nines' special sauce until soft and tender, and two king prawns are coated in a secret batter, fried golden and crispy, then tossed in fiery dynamite sauce.

For pudding, the chocolate sphere comes with vanilla ice cream and pourable Belgian milk chocolate sauce, because one layer of chocolate was never going to be enough!

ACTIVITY ALLEY

🧵 - Women Who Make Festival - A Day of Textiles, Talks and a Sewing Bee Inside a Cotton Mill From 1783!
📍 - Masson Mills, Derby Road, Matlock Bath
📅 - Sat 10th Oct
⏰ - 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
🎟️ - Free (some talks, workshops and walks need a free add-on ticket)
📷 - @derbyshiremakes

Masson Mills was built in 1783 as one of the world's first water-powered cotton spinning mills, and on Saturday it fills with women who make things, from an artist showcase to a sewing bee, with talks, live music and coffee in between.

Most of it is drop-in, and the workshops need no experience because materials are provided, so nobody is going to inspect your stitching, and that includes the stitching on your jumper!

FRESH EXPERIENCES

🎤 - Whitney Houston by Candlelight - Kieshia Chun and Her Million Dollar Band Take Over the Cathedral!
📍 - Derby Cathedral
📅 - Sat 10th Oct
⏰ - 7:30 PM (doors 6:45 PM)
🎟️ - From £25 (plus booking fee)
📷 - @derbycathedral

Kieshia Chun and her Million Dollar Band bring the Whitney Houston songbook to the Cathedral, from How Will I Know to, inevitably, I Will Always Love You, with a fully licensed bar for the whole show.

Dancing is welcome in the nave but banned on the balcony, so choose your seat according to how much you plan to commit to the chorus!
