Things To Do This Weekend: Lambs and Cocktails Evening, A Phoenix Comedy Night, Plus Derby Farmers Market!
Morning! This weekend’s a mixed bag, in the best way. Friday’s for a comedy night, or a night out at The Old Bell Hotel where the entertainment comes with a two course meal. Saturday starts sensible with a breakfast meet or a book sale, then you can switch gears into the adults only lambs and cocktails evening at Bluebells Farm. Sunday slows it down with the Farmers Market and a car boot mooch, then salsa in the evening if you’re not ready to call it a day yet.

This is what happens when you say “let’s do something different” and mean it. An adults only evening with lambs and cocktails is on at Bluebells Farm Park. You’ve got baby lamb cuddles, hands on lambing lessons, plus the baby goats play pen for the “just one cuddle” crowd. Plus there is a giant inflatable pillow, go karts and zip line, with farm inspired cocktails, boozy milkshakes and ice cream sundaes to finish.

The Castle Inn is a great shout for Sunday lunch if you want something hearty and actually satisfying. Roasts of the day come loaded with Yorkshire pud, stuffing, red wine gravy and seasonal veg, plus a vegan roast! Starters are the real temptation, Korean glazed pork belly bites or salt and pepper squid with sweet chilli glaze.
Save room for dessert too. Sticky toffee pudding is the safe play, but the white chocolate Biscoff cheesecake is the one you’ll still be talking about later. Main £18, two courses £24, three £30.
