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.

Excellent find - and free to visit and free car park. However went round the block three times before we found it - and the car park requires very careful negotiation, and moving to the centre of the road before you can turn in. Pity there was no brochure/guidebook to take away,although we were told we could photograph any exhibit or descriptive notices... Lots of steps, so maybe not the best location if you are mobility impaired. We were just in time to catch the couture exhibition - the clothes of Marchioness Curzon of Kedleston. Really good (says my wife...) Lots of fascinating bits and pieces and accessories from the 1920s/30s. The house itself was very interestingly dressed, though some items in the rooms had been moved and didn't match the descriptive sheets which explained what everything was! Well worth a couple of hours - and make a gift-aided donation when you leave!

Derby Theatre has a long and rich history of delivering high quality drama to audiences. Previously Derby Playhouse, our unique new partnership with University of Derby and an Arts Council England award of strategic funding, which will be built on via our entry into their National Portfolio in April 2015, now means Derby Theatre is transforming from a traditional producing house to an organisation of training, mentorship and artistic excellence. Led by Artistic Director and Chief Executive Sarah Brigham, Derby Theatre is bringing together creative professionals and audiences to tell compelling stories and take artistic risks as we emerge as a vibrant, thriving theatre. We combine this professional programme with an exciting suite of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and an emerging talent programme aimed at developing the next generation of artists. Meanwhile our community engagement programme reaches out across our region including people of all ages and from all backgrounds in our unique offer. 'A generous hearted enjoyable night out and the spirits rise to see Derby Theatre packed, bursting at the seams with laughter and - under its new Artistic Director, Sarah Brigham - full of real ambition.' Lyn Gardner The Guardian
Wasn’t sure what to expect having never been to this theatre before. Love the fact we could make a day out of our trip. Plenty of parking to choose from. A wander round the stores then watching a show and wow what a great show it was! Absolutely gripped from the start with an impressive stage setting and a great opening. This performance of a Christmas Carol is easily one of the best shows I have ever seen. Well done to a very professional cast. Will definitely be returning

Built in the 15th century, this Grade II* listed Inn serves home cooked food and high quality beers, wines and spirits all whilst soaking in the history of the building and the atmosphere of a real wood fire. All are welcome at the Abbey Inn including families, couples, students OAPs, walkers, cyclists, children and dogs! Hannah and Alex look forward to welcoming you into their Inn.
Walked to this pub from our B&B in the Darley Abbey area of Derby. What a wonderful surprise! The restaurant upstairs was closed due to a recent fire. But the pub downstairs was open. Great, friendly service at the bar. Samuel Smith Ales on tap (very good!). There are tables outside, but we sat inside because it's such a wonderful place. Important tip: Cash only.

A walk round these lovely gardens in early Spring when the snowdrops are out is well worthwhile. Have a snack and a drink in the welcoming Cafe afterwards.
