Things to do this week: The Little BIG Beer Festival, Dickinson's Real Deal at Derby Arena, Plus Artisans Uncovered!

Morning! The Little BIG Beer Festival is back at The Tiny Tap this weekend, three days of craft beer, cider, live bands and food, with doors at noon and the "just one half" plan collapsing by roughly quarter past.

Also on Saturday, David Dickinson is at Derby Arena giving free valuations, which means it's finally time to find out if Nan's old clock is treasure or just loud. And Artisans Uncovered takes over Derby Market Hall all weekend, two days of local makers, handmade goods and independent traders under one roof.

The Little BIG Beer Festival returns to The Tiny Tap for three days of craft beer, cider, live bands and food, with breweries from across the country pouring throughout the weekend.

If you came last year, you'll already know why people book early. If you didn't, this is your chance to discover how quickly "just one" turns into checking the beer board for "one final half."

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍔 - 1950s American Diner - A Bit of Massachusetts Parked Up in Swadlincote!
📍- John Street, Church Gresley
⏰ - Thu 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM
⏰ - Fri to Sat 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM
⏰ - Sun 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM
📷 - @the50samericandiner

Originally from Massachusetts and now sat in Church Gresley, 1950s American Diner has the old school diner thing down without feeling like a fancy dress version of America.

Reopened under new ownership in 2023, it goes all out on all day breakfasts, chicken and waffles, Philly cheesesteaks, dirty dogs, tater tots, and burgers that make you stop halfway through and reassess the rest of your evening. This is not the place for a side salad and a sensible night!

ACTIVITY ALLEY

📅 - Sat 11th July

🎟️ - Free entry, free parking
📷 - @derby_active

David Dickinson and his team of expert dealers are at Derby Arena on Saturday offering free valuations on antiques, jewellery, medals, vintage toys, gold, collectables and anything else that might be worth more than you realised.

If it turns out you've been storing a small fortune in the loft, you can sell it to a dealer on the day or send it to auction instead. Vintage Cash Cow will also be there buying items.
