Derbyshire’s getting more v**e shops than chip shops — and not everyone's puffing with joy. Parents, teachers, and health campaigners are sounding the alarm. Are we sleepwalking into a public health crisis?

Got an event happening in Derbyshire? A quiz night? A scarecrow festival? A cheese-rolling championship for left-handed vegans?

Well don’t keep it a secret like it’s MI5 classified info. Stick it on Derbyshire.News and let us actually help people find it.

We don’t just pop it on a dusty noticeboard — we share it. Like, properly. Facebook, Insta, sometimes even with a meme if we’re feeling spicy. Potential reach? Oh, only about 120,000+ people... no biggie.

But sure, keep telling 7 people on WhatsApp and wondering why no one turns up. 😏

📍Add your event, be seen, stop hiding.

🚀 Fireworks Are Out. Drones Are In.
Derby’s about to witness a sky show like nothing you've seen before…

On Saturday 18th October, hundreds of glowing drones will light up the night above Derbyshire County Cricket Club, telling a magical space story with zero bangs, no smoke, and no stressed-out pets.

Perfect for kids, calming for animals, and jaw-dropping for everyone.

This isn’t just an alternative to fireworks — it might be the upgrade we’ve all been waiting for.

Has the Ice Cream Van Vanished from Derbyshire’s Villages? 🍦
That familiar jingle once meant one thing — summer had arrived. But in places like Ambergate, locals say it’s been years since they heard the sweet sound of an ice cream van.

“It used to be the highlight of the week,” says Lesley, a resident. “Now it’s like something’s gone missing from village life.”

Is this the end of a tradition? Or just a pause in the music?

Derbyshire skies are about to put on a show…
Two meteor showers — Delta Aquariids and Perseids — are lighting up the night sky this July, peaking around the 29th & 30th. Expect darker skies and the chance to catch up to 25 shooting stars an hour. ✨

Grab a blanket, head somewhere dark, and look up — this summer’s cosmic double act is not to be missed.

🌻 Tired of screens, stress, and scrolling? There’s a field in Derbyshire where the only thing growing faster than sunflowers is the number of smiling faces.

Ashover Family Farm’s Pick-Your-Own Sunflower Event is back — and it’s more than just a photo op. It’s fresh air, muddy boots, and hands-on joy in the countryside.

From snap-worthy blooms to family-friendly adventures in the maize maze, this is what connection really looks like.

Agri-tourism is blooming in Derbyshire — are you getting out there?
