Things To Do This Weekend: Hans Zimmer By Candlelight and a New Bar Opens in Chellaston!
In partnership with
Morning! January is settling in, the snow and stormy weather earlier this week has slowed the pace, and this feels like a weekend for choosing something considered rather than filling the diary. The list is lighter, the plans are calmer, and it is a good moment to ease back into going out without overdoing it.
This weekend’s highlights:
Candlelight brings Hans Zimmer to the Museum of Making for an easy, atmospheric night out
A brand new bar has opened in Chellaston and it already feels like a great addition
Cars, coffee and slow Sunday plans at Great Northern Classics

🍸 - Bentley’s Chellaston - The New Bar That Steals Your Evening!

Bentley’s has just opened in Chellaston and it has instantly become the sort of place people suggest without needing a follow up explanation.
It is a smart, confident bar built for good drinks, relaxed conversation and evenings that feel a bit more intentional than usual. The room sets the tone as soon as you walk in, the bar gives you plenty to choose from, and it feels like a place designed to be enjoyed rather than rushed.
Whether you are stopping in for one or settling in for the night, this is the kind of opening that quietly upgrades your local options.
A bar with character.

QUAD is hosting a full day anime marathon that begins politely in the afternoon and then keeps rolling well into the evening. The line up runs from Patlabor and Macross Plus through to Memories and a late showing of Perfect Blue, which means snacks are essential and evening plans should be written off in advance.
Ideal for long time anime fans, curious newcomers, or anyone who remembers discovering something unexpected on a VHS tape and sitting there wondering what just happened. Commit to one screening or stay for the full run and let the day disappear.
