Things to Do This Week: A Baby Market, Sound Baths and A Psychic Fair!

Morning! This week’s looking lively! We have baby markets bursting with bargains, Christmas light switch-ons and dog cafés that sound more organised than your social life, plus a fair bit of spiritual “recharging” if your brain’s still recovering from last weekend.

📅 WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?

🎪 - Mega Baby & Children’s Market - Because Kids Don’t Stay the Same Size for Long
📍 - Reach Conference Centre
📅 - Saturday 15th November
⏰ - 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
🎟️ - £2 Adults | Kids Free
📷 - @ruthbabymarkets

Parents, this is your Black Friday, minus the bruises. Sixty stalls of nearly-new treasures, from prams and toys to enough baby clothes to restock a nursery overnight. It’s part treasure hunt, part survival tactic, and the best place to grab what your kids will outgrow in a month anyway. Bring a big bag and the calm patience of a saint.

A country pub with a bit of polish, The Farmhouse at Mackworth nails the balance between fancy and familiar. Sunday roasts, steak pies with actual depth, and desserts that are clearly showing off. The bar’s well-stocked, the staff know their stuff, and it’s the kind of place where you start with lunch and somehow stay until last orders.

🎭 ACTIVITY ALLEY

🌀 - Gong & Sound Bath - Like a Spa Day for Your Brain
📍 - Trinity Walk
📅 - Sundays, Tuesdays & Alternate Fridays
⏰ - Sun 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

If your brain’s been buffering all week, this one’s for you. Lie down, close your eyes, and let a roomful of gongs, bowls and gentle vibrations do what caffeine and deep breathing couldn’t. It’s part nap, part meditation, and leaves you feeling like your mind’s been through a nice warm rinse cycle. Cheaper than therapy, louder than silence, and genuinely soothing.

🌟 FRESH EXPERIENCES

🔮 - Mind, Body & Spirit Weekend - Crystals, Coffee and Mild Enlightenment
📍 - Derby Leisure & Events Venue
📅 - 15th - 16th November
⏰ - 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Both Days)

It’s the weekend where incense meets insight and everyone suddenly knows their moon sign. With 40+ exhibitors, psychic readings, healing sessions, and enough crystals to rebuild Glastonbury, the Mind Body & Spirit Weekend is pure good energy.
