LEVIATHAN
By James Wilton Dance
Saturday 6th April, 7:30pm, The Peel Centre
Apprentices at Smith of Derby have been busy restoring Derby’s historic Harrison clock for installation in the new Museum of Making when it re-opens to the public in 2020.
First installed at Derby Guildhall in 1842, the Harrison turret clock dates back to the same period. Its movement was designed by clockmaker, James Harrison of Hull (1792-1875), the great-grand nephew of John (Longitude) Harrison (1693-1776) who famously invented the marine chronometer to calculate longitude at sea.
English Touring Opera return to Buxton on March 23 to play in one of the most intimate venues on their circuit: a sitting room on Lismore Road.
Three singers and a pianist from the prestigious company will perform as part of the Friends of Buxton Festival’s campaign to bring beautiful music to interesting places.

Music, dance performance, activities, exhibitions, food, drink, arts and crafts to celebrate and explore the Lower Derwent Valley, it's people and rich heritage.
We’re delighted to be able to announce a new interactive light installation for this year’s Dronfield Arts Festival – entitled “Ocean World”.
At last year’s festival, John Sutcliffe – our Artist in Residence – delighted audiences with a spectacular lantern parade and lights show that was projected onto the front of the Barn. This year, the exhibition will take place inside The Peel Centre – and just as before, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to get involved with the project.
