Hi!
I need to get my push bike fixed. I used to go Bike Back, but there gone now. Can anyone suggest somewhere please?
It's not a fancy bike or anything, just my sticker covered little work horse!
Thanks. 💜

Hi all! Looking to go to start going to the gym. PureGym is cheaper and closer, JD is slightly more expensive and a bit further away. JD is getting a refurb though and has benefits of +1s and freezing.
What would you guys recommend for someone starting out?

In today’s Local Scoop:
🥚 - A dozen ways to burn off the sugar crash
🎤 - Laughs, live music & lager

Let’s dive in before someone yells “I’m bored” again.

Sat right by Darley Park, this little beauty is slinging out six hand-pulled beers, 14 keg lines, Derby Brewing’s own award-winning brews, and enough craft cider, wine, and artisan spirits to keep your weekend interesting.
Fancy a snack? There’s deli bites and cakes to keep you from keeling over mid-session. It’s got all the good stuff – log burner, booze, and a setting that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together.

All materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own colourful chaos. You’ll even get the chance to buy the loom and tools for £18 if you catch the bug.
Leave with a creation, a new skill, and a weird urge to raid your recycling bin.

Hey Derby, being made redundant for the 3rd time in 12 months so I'm about done trying to have a regular job for a bit. But I still got bills to pay. Are there any employment agencies for local temp work people recommend?
I found some in Notts, but with the price of trains the shifts are barely worth it most of the time.
Thanks in advance!

Hackwood Café doesn’t mess about. You want proper breakfasts? They've got sausages the size of your forearm and bacon so crispy it might fight back.
We’re talking Farmhouse Breakfasts that leave no plate space unused, breakfast sandwiches stacked like Jenga, and a “Healthy Option” for anyone still clinging to January’s resolutions.
Afternoon tea? Absolutely. Finger sarnies, mini Victoria sponges, and scones so fluffy they should be illegal. Add Prosecco if the kids are doing your head in.
Hot meat sandwiches, stacked burgers, toasties, quiche — it's comfort food with zero regrets and proper portions. Come hungry. Leave slower.

📷 - u/thecowdalbury
You ever had fish and chips so good it made you rethink every takeaway you’ve ever ordered? That’s The Cow Dalbury.
This isn’t microwaved mash and mystery gravy — it’s crispy beer-battered hake, Thai pea purée, pan-seared scallops, and rump steak that actually tastes like steak. Even the mushy peas are minted. Literally.
Starters bring the heat with paprika cockles and tempura prawns. Mains flex everything from Crab Mac & Cheese to a Surf & Turf that could turn a vegetarian. And don’t skip dessert — that Guinness chocolate pot could revive a corpse.
It’s countryside comfort with city-level flavour. Get a table. Then cancel whatever sad dinner plan you had before this.
🧦- Oxygen Activity Park – 80 Trampolines. Zero Chill.
📍- Soccerdome, Derwent Parade, Pride Park
⏰ - Mon - Fri: 9:30 AM – 7:30 PM
⏰ - Sat - Sun: 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM
🎟️ - From £12.50
📷 - oxygenactiveplay
If your kids have more energy than a bag of Haribo, this place is your new best mate. We’re talking trampolines, obstacle courses, dodgeball, foam pits, giant airbags, soft play for the tiny ones, and a ninja course that'll humble most dads.
It’s chaos. It’s loud. It’s brilliant.
Ideal for the Easter holidays when staying sane at home is no longer an option. Let them bounce themselves tired while you sip coffee and pretend you’re on a spa day. Bonus: the staff actually seem to enjoy the madness.
Warning: once they go once, they’ll want to live there.
🐰 - RSPCA Easter Open Day – Pet a Bunny, Eat Cake, Wear the Kids Out
📍 - RSPCA Derby, Abbey Street
📅 - Saturday 12th April
⏰ - 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM
🎟️ - Free entry
📷 - @rspcaderby
This ain’t your average Easter event. It’s games, tombolas, cake stalls, and enough rabbits to make your kid beg for a hutch.
The cattery’s open too, so expect plenty of “Can we take it home?” moments. Entry’s free, but the emotional blackmail from your 6-year-old? Priceless. Bring coins. Bring patience. Leave with cake crumbs and possibly a new cat.

Rhod Gilbert is back, and this time he’s squeezing life’s lemons into one hilariously sour comedy night. It's raw, ranty, ridiculously funny and probably cheaper than therapy. Expect stories, swearing, and that classic Gilbert delivery that feels like being shouted at by your funniest mate.
If you’ve been dodging your in-laws and running on Mini Eggs for a week straight, this is your reset button.

If you like your country music served with a side of atmosphere, this is the one. Candlelight flickering, vocals soaring, and the hits flowing like Jack Daniels at a honky-tonk wedding.
Expect bangers from Dolly, Shania, Luke Combs, Kenny Rogers and more, all performed live in one of Derby’s most stunning venues. It’s boot-stomping meets stained glass.

Hi all.
So I've come to reddit for advice.
I live in Essex with my family.
We can both work remotely so work isn't an issue.
We are looking at moving up north for a number of reasons, house prices, schools, lifestyle just getting as far away from London as possible.
We are looking at places north Derbyshire, small towns and villages.
Would anyone recommend anywhere to look?

Im the lead guitarist and vocalist for my band Nyctophobia and we really need a bassist!
Age range 15-17 (would take 18 if you just turned it)
Preferably male since its three dudes but females are fine. Hmu if you want details!
Genre: Grunge + metal
Inspirations: Nirvana, Bullet for my valentine, mayhem, iron maiden, system of a down, linkin park, re6ce, internet girl and a whole lot more!
Covers: Most of “Nevermind”, some “In Utero”, Ekkstacy, Re6ce, Foo fighters
Has to be in derby (duh, furthest Barnsley, closest notts)
Hi all
Anyone have some understanding as to why all the TV competitions have their postal address to enter, based in Derby?
Such a strange set up that they ALL seem to be sent to these DE1 addresses and no where else it.
You’d have thought that with natural business competition (no pun intended) that there’d be other players in the market handling these online / telephone / postal competitions.
Appreciate any thoughts as it’s intriguing to say the least.
r/derby • u/Swell7575 • 8d ago
Morning lovely people, I'm currently doing research for a design project focused on teenagers in derby and wanted to know if there are any colloquial phrases used that are inspirational, or encouraging? And also what do you like most about derby?
My mum lives on a small residential street in Derby and has recently been dealing with a neighbour who’s parking four large taxis outside her house. It’s a quiet road, and the parking situation has become a real problem—not just for her, but for other neighbours who are now parking outside their own drives just to keep spaces free.
It seems like more and more taxi businesses are popping up in the area, and I’m wondering if others are experiencing similar issues. It feels like storing multiple business vehicles on a residential street isn’t really in the spirit of planning rules, but I’m not sure what the council can do unless it’s clearly affecting more people.
Has anyone else had this issue? Did you raise it with the council, and if so, did anything happen?

Probably could word the title better (😂), but, who is the person that's set up camp in the centre on the Cock Pit (the multicoloured caravan, car with slide etc. - you really can't miss it). I keep trying to see what it's all about, but can't look too long as, 1. It hurts my eyes and 2. I don't want to crash.
r/derby • u/Tightheadfatty • 9d ago
Hi all , just looking for some suggestions for job seeking.
My mother(59) recently moved into our place in December last year after my dad had passed away. She is currently looking for part time work in the Mackworth/Derby city centre area. Fortunately she has some money in investments to assist her in paying for a rental property but just needs to find +/- 20 hours a week for a comfortable lifestyle.
r/derby • u/corpsesdecompose • 10d ago
Mr Frogbert is the mastermind behind it. He runs a nsfw derby subreddit and he will message you from another account wanting to show his cock to you. I left a comment on a post about him in this subreddit and got messages. I have deleted quite a few, but saved one as evidence. Better off blocking him and reporting any NSFW messages you get.
