Osnabrück Oktoberfest opens in the Market Hall today too, and QUAD spends the whole weekend on nine films about cities!

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND

📷 - @electricdaisyderby

Mile Junkies call themselves "not your average running club", and starting the evening with a DJ set rather than a stretch backs that up. Daytona takes over Electric Daisy's garden from 4pm, the run sets off at 6:30pm, and the real training is for the bit afterwards back at the bar.

It's free, all paces welcome, and nobody's checking your Strava. Little Vic's Deli will be doing a pop-up from 5pm too, for anyone who needs fuel first!

The Brasserie at Darleys has become one of Derby's favourite places to eat, built around great steaks, from a ribeye to a whole Tomahawk. The showpiece dish, a Roasted Lobster Thermidor finished with cognac, tarragon and aged Gruyère, is one of the best plates in the city.

Sunday roasts run from rump of beef to butternut squash and roast cauliflower, and Saturday's Bottomless Brunch, a dish and ninety minutes of unlimited drinks, is best shared with the whole table!

A double-fronted 19th century house in the heart of Littleover Village, with a Minton tiled lobby, a cellar and a range cooker. The bathroom has a freestanding slipper bath, which is how you know a house is serious.

The real trick is the separate two-bedroom coach house in the same grounds, with its own kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Ideal for guests, grown-up children, or anyone you get on with better from across a garden!
