Looking to write short stories? Looking to SELL them? This commercially focused one-day workshop will help you develop your writing style to create sharp, entertaining and saleable stories for the women's magazines. Led by novelist and widely-published short story writer, Joanna Courtney, this friendly but purposeful course will take you through all the basics of honing your stories and offer plenty of advice and tips on how to catch an editor's attention and see your work in print.

More than 80 young people from Firs and Becket primary schools, The Bemrose School and Derby College have performed alongside Derby-based regional orchestra and Grammy-nominated Sinfonia Viva at two special concerts at Derby Theatre.

The concert was the culmination of Viva’s annual education residency ‘AlgoRhythms’, in partnership with Rolls-Royce plc and Derbyshire Music Education Hub.  It took a creative approach to STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and used the power of music to bring coding to life.

In April 2018, Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin) retreated to a remote cottage in Ulpha, western Cumbria. They breathed in the mountain view, banked up the fire, and took their many instruments out of their cases. Then they sat down, and wrote. Tired of the navel gazing tendencies of sad song-writing, and the terrible events frequently depicted in the folk ballad tradition, they decided to turn their attention to an oft overlooked but vital facet of our lives: hope.

On Saturday 20 April local theatre company The Lost Boys will be leading the St George’s Day celebrations through Derby City Centre, between 11:30am and 3pm.
