Things To Do This Weekend: The Duffield Makers Market, A Pottery Workshop And a Farmers Market On Sunday!
Morning! The one we flagged on Monday has turned up at last, with the Farmers Market landing on Sunday for a full day of local traders and “yes I do cook” ingredients.
Saturday and Sunday brings the Makers Market in Duffield plus Burns Night plans for anyone keen on a little tartan theatre without the effort.
Add a free drawing session at Elvaston Castle and a clay mushroom workshop on Sunday morning, and the weekend has options that get you out the house and leave you feeling mildly impressive.

This is the one we flagged on Monday, and now it’s finally here. Derby Farmers’ Market takes over the Market Hall this Sunday with local growers, producers and independent traders bringing the best of the region under one roof.
Go for a relaxed wander, pick up ingredients that make the week feel less dull, and leave with bags that quietly announce “I cook” even if tonight is just pasta. It works for families, mates, and anyone who wants a Sunday plan that beats traffic and forced fitness.

Fancy a meal that makes you feel like you have got your life together, even if you arrived two minutes late and slightly sweaty?

Also, steak night lands on the last Friday of each month, for anyone who believes happiness comes medium rare.

ACTIVITY ALLEY

📍 - Elvaston Castle
📅 - Sat 24th January
⏰ - 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
🎟️ - Free entry (donations welcome)
A free drop in drawing session at Elvaston Castle for anyone who fancies doing something creative without signing their life away. Sketch at your own pace in the Courtyard Classroom.
No pressure to be “talented” either, this is more pencils out, brain off. Stick around for ten minutes or the full three hours, then walk out feeling oddly pleased with yourself and with a bit more quiet in your head.
FRESH EXPERIENCES
🪴 - Mushroom Bells Workshop - Fancy Making Three Tiny Clay Mushrooms?
📍 - Banks Mill Studios
📅 - Sun 25th Jan
⏰ - 10:00 AM
🎟️ - £45 per person
📷 - @flint.and.gaia @banksmillstudios
A hands on pottery session making a trio of hanging mushroom bells using recycled clay. You shape them, decorate them with colour, then leave them with the studio to be fired, glazed, and strung.
Six to eight weeks later you collect your finished set ready to hang up at home or in the garden. Aprons are provided, but wear something you do not mind getting messy. No spectators in the studio, and long nails will make it harder than it needs to be.
