"Come and mark the Feast Day of St Alkmund, Derby’s patron saint, on Wednesday 19th March at 1pm.
Everyone is welcome to join our gathering at St Alkmund’s Well on the corner of Bath and Well Streets, 10 minutes’ walk from

Find out about St Alkmund, the history of the Well, and our plans to create a traditional well dressing in May.
Floral tributes (without plastic) can be left at the Well."

I'm not religious, but it would be nice to learn about some local history, and I can go during my lunch hour 😀

Winnats Pass is a hill pass and limestone gorge in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. The name is a corruption of 'wind gates' due to the swirling winds through the pass. It lies west of the village of Castleton, in the National Trust's High Peak Estate and the High Peak borough of Derbyshire. The road winds through a cleft, surrounded by high limestone ridges. At the foot of the pass is the entrance to Speedwell Cavern, a karst cave accessed through a flooded lead mine, and which is a popular tourist attraction

A man from #Derby in the East #Midlands of #UK learned to #read at age 58, having been unable to do so due to #dyslexia and a lack of specialist help over the years. He was overjoyed at being able to read a #Speedway magazine he had kept since the 1980s!

NDR Doku: Die Derbys — mehr Fangeschichte(n) Bitte

Die Premiere der ARD Dokureihe „Die Derbys“ im Zeise geriet zum Klassentreffen des Hamburger Fußball ⚽️ mit den Podcastern beider großer Vereine der Stadt.

If there are any local (#Derby) #film buffs around tonight, there's something on at Dubrek called "Five Lamps Film: BFI Mixer + Mini Showcase"

No idea what it will be like.
I went to one of the #FiveLampsFilm nights over a year ago, where they were showing final-year student films from Derby University, which was interesting.
