What to do this weekend in Derby!

Yes, that time of the week has come again, hasn’t it flashed by and with Christmas fast approaching I thought this article would be focusing upon more festive events including Pantos and live music.

“IT’S BEHIND YOU” Yep it is certainly that time of the year again and this year in Derby, we are very pleased to announce that this year’s production at the Assembly Rooms is Cinderella, and off course staring some well known names. This year’s celebrities are Neil Morrissey from Men behaving badly and waterloo road who is playing buttons and Eternal’s Kelle Bryan as Cinderella. This year’s production promises to be the most lavish pantomime ever to be staged at the Assembly Rooms, making it the hottest ticket in Derby this festive Period.
