In partnership with

Morning. This weekend is shaping up to be one long parade of eating, browsing and pretending you are just being sensible. Bustler is rolling out a full day of comfort food and warm drinks, Elvaston Castle is hosting an artisan market that will drain your willpower in the nicest way, and the Cathedral is gearing up for a country night that could easily have you humming Dolly on the way home. Add pudding clubs, stargazing, salsa sessions and a Christmas fair or two and you have a weekend that will keep you very busy without even trying.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍛 - Elephant & Peacock - Pub Food, But With Serious Indian Flair

Part pub, part hotel, part trip to Delhi. Elephant & Peacock in Milford takes your standard pub favourites and gives them a bold Indian upgrade. Butter chicken so rich it should have its own bank account, Railway Lamb with all the first-class trimmings, and Amritsari fish & chips that’ll make you question why you ever settled for the usual.

There’s a mixed grill platter for sharing (or not), daals built for maximum comfort, and cocktails worth turning into a hobby. Go for the curry, stick around for the quiz nights, live music, and a Sunday roast that somehow feels right at home next to samosas.

ACTIVITY ALLEY

🎄 - Christmas Artisan Market
📍 - Elvaston Castle
📅 - 22nd and 23rd November
⏰ - 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
🎟️ - Free entry
📷 - @elvastonestate

Elvaston Castle is hosting an artisan market inside the castle walls and it is easily one of the most festive stops of the month. Packed with Derbyshire makers, handcrafted gifts and seasonal treats, it is the kind of place where you spot something for someone else and immediately decide it suits you better.

FRESH EXPERIENCES

🎸 - Country By Candlelight - The Classiest Yeehaw You’ll Ever Attend
📍 - Derby Cathedral
📅 - Fri 21st November
⏰ - 7:30 PM
🎟️ - Tickets required
📷 - @derbycathedral

Country By Candlelight is rolling into the cathedral and it is going all in on the big country favourites. Dolly, Shania, Kenny Rogers, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, the full lot performed with a live band surrounded by candlelight which feels oddly powerful even if your usual playlist is anything but country. It is the kind of show where people walk in politely and walk out ready to buy a cowboy hat. If you want an evening that is loud, catchy and a little dramatic in the best way, this one will deliver without fail.
