A brand new and exciting selling opportunity for makers, farmers, growers, crafters and artists from Derbyshire and beyond!

Derbyshire Artisan Markets will help us shift our thoughts to the future, helping us all to look forwards as we prepare for better days ahead.

We’re using this time to reach out, track down and connect with all of the wonderful independent traders across the county, from Glossop to Swadlincote, Ashbourne to Bolsover and all points in between.

Open calls and jobs for the arts, cultural and creative industries

Like everyone, we've spent the last few weeks adjusting to the new ground rules. Having had to close the Distillery shop and postpone our tours and other events in mid-March, we've focused our efforts online and with local delivery. And we would like to say a big thank you to all our supporters!

Oddsocks is taking a break from uploading past productions to their YouTube Channel this Friday to introduce exciting singer songwriter Felix M-B to their online audience.

We're offering support to community groups, clubs and charities that are at the heart of our communities and show 'Derbyshire Spirit'.

With its Florence Nightingale exhibition closed to the public due to the current coronavirus lockdown, Derby Museums is making a special collection of content available online to commemorate the bicentenary of Florence Nightingale’s birth this year.

Time capsules, colouring books, puppets, isolation selfie-frames and a thank you letter to key workers are just some of the things winding their way to homes in Ashfield, Mansfield, Bolsover and North East Derbyshire as part of the jam-packed Everybody’s Home Kits being sent out from today.

A scrapbook showing how Florence Nightingale became a cultural phenomenon is going on display online in time for the 200^th anniversary of the birth of the pioneer of modern nursing.

The Derbyshire-born nurse's work during the Crimean War revolutionised hospital sanitisation, and she led the way in collecting and displaying data to show the impact of care. Her influence can still be felt today, especially as the world tackles Covid-19.
