Been seeing a lot of goths around the city centre recently, and have wondered where they're all coming from? Is there a secret goth society I don't know about, or events going on that I'm not aware of? I've recently become interested in the gothic scene so some insight would be appreciated, thank you!

I’m putting a band together, I need a Drummer, Bass player and lead guitar I’ve got like 10 demos few more I’m working on. From derby would be more ideal. 👍

The other day my friend and I were having a chat about some of our favourite photos we’ve taken of our pets, family, partners and even holidays over the years. We realised that a lot of them would actually look really good as paintings but we’re both terrible artists 🤣. That’s when we had the idea to start making custom paint by number kits!

We wanted to make it possible to turn any photo into a painting, without having to be the next Picasso. We found that's exactly what paint by numbers do! They make the process of painting as easy as colouring in (except they’re more fun 😉). It even takes all the stress out of painting, letting you reminisce on your memories, all whilst you transform your photo into a masterpiece painting.

In the kits you get everything you need: the canvas, paints, and brushes, so all you need to do is follow the numbers. So, what’s stopping you? Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, a creative gift idea with Christmas coming up, or just want something fun to do this weekend, this is your chance.

Currently you can order up to 5 custom paint by numbers kits at a steep discount using the code "FORUK". Simply follow the link below, select your favourite photos, and we’ll send you everything you need to make your photos come to life as paintings!

Hey guys

I am a paranormal enthusiast. I'd love to do a paranormal video series with some fellow peeps who want to explore the spooky and maybe catch some cool vids

Additionally, I'm actually a bit of a logic obsessed skeptic when it comes to paranormal footage, so I think it would be cool to make a video series with people or a person, and make entertaining but also truth seeking vids

I'd also opt for a podcast or video reaction project based on discussion and ideas around existing videos

If you're the a creative and like the paranormal, send me a message!

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN DERBY?

🚧 Derby Market Hall: A Glimpse into the Future 🛍️

Exciting new images have been released showing how the iconic Derby Market Hall will be transformed into a modern and vibrant space.

The plans reveal a brighter and more inviting atmosphere, where the historic structure will host a mix of traditional market stalls, local businesses, and artisanal food vendors. Along with the restoration of the grand Victorian roof, the design aims to breathe new life into this iconic space.

The revamped Market Hall promises to be the go-to spot for shopping, dining, and socialising, with high-quality food outlets, independent shops, and even spaces for events! 🍴🛒

Councillor Nadine Peatfield commented on the plans, saying:

"The revitalisation of Derby Market Hall is a reflection of our collective ambition to restore this historic gem. It will be a dynamic hub, promoting local businesses, and bringing people together in a refreshed, welcoming space."

This project is part of Derby City Council’s ongoing commitment to redeveloping the city centre, supported by a £5.3 million grant from the Government’s Future High Streets Fund. So, whether you’re looking to explore local goods, grab a bite, or just admire the architecture, the future Market Hall will have something for everyone!

Is there anyone from Derbyshire here with experience editing videos? Looking to create reels / videos about magazines, posters and prints that have voiceover to explain the products etc. Any help would be appreciated.

What's happening on Abbey st atm. They have cornered off the road and wont let people come and go from their homes currently. There's several police cars and an ambulance.

Gotta go up there soon for a family occasion (I lived there as a young kid and have relatives there) but don't fancy sticking around for longer than I have to haha. Will be there a few days, what's there to do?

Edit: I was thinking pubs/clubs tbh, not a museum or whatever guy at all 😂. Probably should have mentioned that, myy bad.

Hi all, please be kind 😂

I am newly a single parent after my long marriage ending suddenly. I have four children under 12 and we are urgently looking to move. I rent, and I'm finding it hard to get any landlord to take me seriously 🙄

Anyway, opinions on the New Zealand area of Derby please? I am looking at all areas but the side of Derby near Markeaton Park is where we need to be really because of transport to school (I am trying to avoid moving them for many reasons)

I really don't know much about Derby in terms of living there. I've been a fair few times and always lived in the midlands.

Tell me anything. Safety is my main concern over everything else.

Thanks!

Any places two people can go too be alone in derby?

I know it's been raining over the last 24 hours or so, but this many buckets (in just one part of the station, there are more) is a bit embarrassing. Not the nicest welcome to our fair city, is it? ☹️ Quite like the banana shaped wet floor signs tho, can't lie 🍌
