See you there!
I’m sat working in the garden today, the weather is far too nice to be stuck indoors. I received some great feedback on the last ‘Something for the weekend’, so I thought I would do another!
I really love this time of year in Derbyshire….there’s always something to do, whether it’s a fair, carnival or traditional event the county offers something for everyone and with the weather being so very kind to us, there’s no better reason to head out for the day.
If you haven’t planned your weekend yet, maybe this post will help you decide…..
Chatsworth Estate
Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st May
Chatsworth are holding their first ever food and drinks fair this weekend, which I think I’ll head over to. The fair is located on the hill leading up towards the stables. There will be food and drinks producers from all over the Midlands, from Sheep dip malt whisky, cider perry fruit wine, handmade farmhouse cheeses and freshly made organic pancakes will be among the delicious goods on offer.
Other ‘fabulous places‘ within the Chatsworth Estate are the Farm Shop Restaurant, Farm Shop, Interiors Shop & Carriage House Restaurant.
Bakewell Farmers Market
Agricultural Business Centre Bakewell
Saturday 30th May
I love a good farmers market and Bakewell’s is pretty fantastic for great produce. The market offers a wide variety of locally produced foods for sale under cover at the Agricultural Business Centre, which is easily signposted as your approach the town. The market runs from 9am – 2pm.
‘Fabulous places’ to visit while you’re in Bakewell are Chalet Home, Treeline Gallery, The Style House and Ag Gallery.
Chesterfield Farmers Market
Sunday 31st May
Situated in the centre of town, the market runs from 10am – 2pm.
While you’re in Chesterfield some great ‘fabulous places’ to visit are Koo coffee Shop & Koo Deli, Libby’s and Created Gallery.
Other great ideas while the weather is so good are:
Ice cream from Bluebells
Lunch ourside at the Bottlekiln – there’s something quite wonderful about catching up with friends over lunch in the garden. Quiche and salad washed down with sparkling Belvoir Elderflower, yum! The Bottlekiln are also running a promotion where there is 25% off all their British handmade art pieces and jewellery. I highly recommend a browse….I picked up a gorgeous necklace today.
Right, must go and prepare for this evening’s BBQ! Have a fabulously British weekend!
