Things to do in Derby this weekend including: Open-Air Movies at Kedleston Hall and the Sadler Gate Street Festival!

Morning Derby! This weekend's bursting with outdoor movies, birria tacos, space hoppers, and a full-on street festival down Sadler Gate. You can sing ABBA in a field at Kedleston Hall, stuff your face at Mucho Picante, and cheer on the brave souls legging it through the half marathon. Chuck in a dog show, a hovercraft, and a Repair Café, and there’s officially no reason to stay in, unless you're scared of fun.

Kedleston Hall’s turning into Derby’s fanciest field trip, but with ABBA, snacks and a massive screen. Belt out The Greatest Showman, scream Mamma Mia! lyrics like you’re on a Greek island, or plonk the kids down for The Gruffalo while you neck a slushie. Pack a picnic, bring a blanket, and prepare to cry at Pretty Woman like it’s 1990. Five films, zero sofas, 10/10 chance of dancing in a field.

📷 - @muchopicanteuk @factoryfoodcourt

Derby’s taco game just got spicy. Mucho Picante has landed in the Food Court with a menu that reads like a love letter to Mexican street food. We’re talking birria tacos dripping in consomé, loaded nachos, jalapeño poppers, and even birria pizza. Fancy a lamb burger or a fried fish taco? They’ve got that too. Throw in churro-style desserts and a horchata to wash it down, and you’re laughing.
