Early espresso, breakfast, lunch, cake, laptop time, prosecco time. Meaks covers the lot, seven days a week, with loads of seating indoors and a courtyard that’s made for slow coffees when the weather decides to behave.
The menu caters well for gluten free, vegan, and kids options too, so the whole table can eat without anyone doing the “I’ll just have something small” performance.

ACTIVITY ALLEY
🛍️ - The Market That Turns “Just A Browse” Into A Boot Full Of Bags
📍 - Hudson’s Plant Centre, Wirksworth Rd, Duffield
📅 - 24th - 25th Jan
⏰ - 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
🎟️ - Free entry
📷 - @makers_street @hudsons_ltd
Local produce, handmade gifts, and the sort of stalls that make you suddenly decide you do, in fact, need a new candle, a brownie, and something “for the house”. It’s an easy one for a weekend wander, especially if you want a plan that involves fresh air, a hot drink, and leaving with a bag you did not arrive with.
FRESH EXPERIENCES
🍿 - K Pop Demon Hunters Party - Popworld Goes Full Family Disco
📍 - Popworld, Friar Gate
📅 - Sun 25th Jan
⏰ - 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (last entry 3:30 PM)

This is for the kids who have had those songs on repeat, and for the adults who now know the words through pure exposure. DJs on the big hits, group dances, confetti, lights, photo moments, and a glow stall for extra sparkle.
