So Derby is putting a big effort into it's Cathedral Quarter, fostering the existing hub of live music, performances, independent outlets, creativity and small enterprises, with Furthest From The Sea as the organisers behind a lot of the events. And wow, colour me impressed!
I was selling at the monthly Cathedral Quarter Arts and Craft Fayre in October, and found a fun and welcoming group of folks. The fayre is every third Saturday from March to December, and there's a great flow of public, varied stalls, and the number of stalls is growing - they were buying extra marquees the week before the event! We were also treated to live music from Knickerbocker Glorious, which offers musicians, comedians, poets, dancers... a chance to perform in public and reach a new audience.
A big thanks is due to Clockwork Prism, who were taking promotional photos, and when I asked if I could get copies to use, the lovely Neil not only said yes, he also took some snaps of me on a work in progress haircomb. Drop by if you're near Derby, or add this bustling and creative city onto your to-do list, as it's an undervalued gem and worthy of a good explore beyond it's large zombie-infested shopping centre.
