Where to find me and many other small, local, independent businesses this festive season. This year, I have made a point of choosing accessible venues that my mum would be able to visit. I figured if my mum can manage it, than hopefully most other people will be able to as well :)
Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd November
Inside Elvaston Castle
Artisans Uncovered with Derby Uncovered
10am-4pm
Free entry, free parking for blue badge holders, dog friendly, gorgeous Gothic Revival interior architecture
Insider tip: Bring cash, as the massive castle walls mean the internet is rubbish for card payments!
Thursday 27th November
Derby Market Hall
11am-8pm
Free entry, central location, dog friendly, beer, newly renovated Victorian architecture, I'll have a pop-up barrow instead of my pink bar!
Insider tip: It's the Christmas Lights switch on and lantern parade
Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th November
Old Library on The Wardwick, Derby
10am-4pm
Free entry, central location derby city centre, gorgeous interior architecture
Insider tip: definitely one for book lovers... look up!
Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th December
The Derbyshire Makers at Peak Village
10am-4pm
Free parking, free entry, dog friendly, near by bus stop, nature reserve
Insider tip: Our Derbyshire Makers shop is also at Peak Village and great for a winter walk too! Stay for lunch at the Chatsworth Kitchen, or grab a Bakewell pudding from Lambs Deli.
Sunday 14th December
The Garage, Chilwell (Beeston, Nottingham)
10am-2pm
Free Entry, free parking, indigo bus route, dog friendly, beer, street food, fire pits...
Insider tip: My final Christmas Market of the season!
Most venues are dog friendly and some of them sell beer, if they don't sell beer then there is usually somewhere near that does!
Please contact venues for additional information, I'll add more details and links as I get them.
Hopefully I'll see you at one of these, please come and say hello, make yourself known, it's lovely to hear from you and great to see a friendly face at an event.
Wishing all my CRZyBest supporters a very Merry Christmas!
