Things to do this week: Derby Festé, Ibiza on Skates at Rollerworld and a Big Fat Bustler Quiz!

In partnership with

Morning! Clear the weekend, because this one’s rolling from slinkies to skate wheels.

Festé is back with circus acts, dancers and a gang of giant slinkies bouncing through the streets. Rollerworld’s swapping its usual playlist for Ibiza beats and keeping you skating till 5am, while the Cathedral is going full candlelit power ballad with an 80’s soundtrack.

If you’re still standing, there’s wine to sip, Porsches to ogle and a silent disco to finish you off.

🍔 SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🐟 - Darcy’s Fish and Chips - Proof Happiness Comes Deep Fried
📍 - 58 Manor Road
⏰ - Monday to Saturday 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM
⏰ - Sunday 12:00 PM - 9:00 PM
📷 - @darcysfishandchips

Darcy’s isn’t just about a chippy tea. It’s a restaurant as well as a takeaway, with plates that make you forget you ever promised yourself “just a small one.” Golden haddock, stacked burgers, seafood platters and pies that can silence a table. Everything’s cooked in premium oil, no beer in the batter, and separate fryers keep it Halal friendly.

Add in a warm welcome, big portions, and now Sunday opening too. Kids eat free with every adult main, which is one way to keep everyone smiling.

🎭 ACTIVITY ALLEY

🛼🌴 - Rollerworld’s All-Night Skate - Ibiza Beats on Wheels
📍 - Rollerworld, Mansfield Road
📅 - Sat 27th September
⏰ - 8:00 PM
🎟️ - £16 admission | £2.50 skate hire | £5 spectators | 18+ only
📷 - @derby_rollerworld

Rollerworld is ditching Derby for Ibiza (well, almost). The rink’s going neon with palm trees, cocktails and DJs spinning until 5am. Grab your skates, grab your mates and glide into the small hours fuelled by disco beats and café burgers. Over 18s only, so you can expect the cocktails to flow faster than your balance after hour four.
