The Last Post is certainly one of the smallest pubs I've ever been to (though not quite as tiny as the Pump It Up in Belper): You get about 10 people in there and it's packed! But the place oozes community atmosphere, and you'll get into talking with other patrons immediately. At least that was my own experience, and I'm a rather shy, reserved person. The selection of drinks is also excellent: a fair number of hand pumps, and, more importantly, they offer real ales from smaller breweries, and the not usual, jaded Doom Bar or Pedigree. Lovely, helpful barman, too. The range of single malt whiskies outshines that of many much larger establishments. And, even in a place for just ten people, The Last Post offers live music! Highly recommended real ale micro for Derby, even if it's a bit off the beaten track.

Immersive escape rooms in Derby. Unescapable takes the immersive experience beyond the room itself, as a top secret testing facility (don't tell anyone), we have been tasked with testing the world's first time portals - and we need YOU to test them!
Our group with ages ranging from 5-45 years thoroughly enjoyed our experience playing the escape room ‘Mary’.The rooms were well thought out, with great puzzles and special effects which made for a highly immersive experience for all. Game master Steve set the scene and provided fantastic supportive, humours interaction, enhancing our overall experience. We will definitely be returning to experience the other rooms in the near future! Would highly recommend to all! Thanks Steve!

Great day out for the kids and adults too. It was our first visit to Clip n Climb Derby. Ace variety of walls to climb, amazing setup. Tyler and Harrison were on hand for the safety briefing, helping with the harness and in the arena throughout, lovely boys, brilliant with the kids. Lovely friendly staff especially Victoria on the reception desk. Real good variety of food, clean premises, all in all a fun day out, already booked in for our next visit. The girls loved it would definitely recommend.

Welcome to Spa Diamond, where we have made massage into an art form. You can be assured of experiencing the very best massage in Derby. In a relaxing tranquil and welcoming environment you can enjoy a variety of treatments. We use holistic massage therapy to diminish aches and pains, improve flexibility and reduce tension.
I’ve been having a full body massage here monthly for a while now and it has always been an amazingly relaxing experience. Certainly Karolina has been nothing sort of amazing with me, helping to put me at my ease, and I have some terrible self esteem issues. If you have an hour spare I cannot recommend this enough.

Derby Museums is an independent trust and organisation run for, and on behalf of, the people of Derby. We provide a museums and arts service, accessible to everyone, and are responsible for the curation of all the artefacts and works of art entrusted to us, and the buildings in which these are held. Our aim as a new organisation is to bring as many of these objects into the public domain as is practically possible and exhibit them in ways that delight and inspire. We also run education and learning programmes, and hold events and exhibitions with the purpose of sharing knowledge and inspiring creativity and making amongst the people of Derby. As well as schools and student learning, we run many events for adults and groups, as well as families. Our collections and the information we hold about them are as unique as our location and history; we are a city continually shaped and driven by creativity and innovation, located in a valley that changed the world. The services we provide are also designed to promote the city: using its rich and important past to inspire its future.
Quite a buzz, being school holidays, lovely to see children so absorbed in activities. Very up to date and interesting.

Royal Crown Derby is one of the original companies founded in the 18th Century that is still producing fine bone china in Derbyshire, England today. The company is the most distinguished, authentic Made in England manufacturer supplying English fine bone china tableware, giftware and collectables since 1750 The present factory was established in 1878, but the business traces its origins to the original factory which was set up in Nottingham Road in about 1750. Queen Victoria granted permission to include the title "Royal" in the company name in 1890. The current site on Osmaston Road, Derby stands on a four and half acre site, employing approximately 200 staff. The Royal Crown Derby Visitor Centre offers a customer experience whether visiting the 1750 Tea Room, Museum, viewing the latest exhibition arranged by our in-house Museum Curator, taking a factory tour to see our first class products being made by hand or purchasing from the onsite retail shop.
I really can't overstate how much I enjoyed the museum in the visitor centre. It presents a fantastically rich collection of the company's porcelain manufacture, judiciously supported by historical, technical and aesthetic information and commentary. The objects are beautiful, the information is expert and precise, and the surroundings are wonderfully peaceful: I had the museum to myself for three hours - there is nothing to distract attention from the contents of the cabinets. A superb specialist museum. Furthermore, the cafe offers homemade tea bread. My portion was still warm from the oven. And on top of all this, the shop has first-quality animal paperweights (discontinued lines) for half price. So I am now the proud possessor of a wigeon duckling, to remind me of this entirely delightful day.
