    Derby Additional Information

    Derby Experience Gift Guide

    The city of Derby has an incredible history and has been a major settlement in the UK since Roman times. Today, it’s one of the most multicultural cities in Britain, and over 1 in 10 people living in Derby have Asian heritage. For that reason, it’s also one of the friendliest and most welcoming, with midlands hospitality and good humour aplenty. This, coupled with low prices compared to many other major UK cities, is why Derby is the perfect place to escape for a UK getaway.

    In the city itself there are a wide variety of gift experiences to be enjoyed, from supercar driving experiences and recording studio session days, to pampering at some of the country’s most idyllic spas and hotels. For example, why not treat yourself to an afternoon tea for two at Yew Lodge Hotel Derby, where you’ll relax in luxurious comfort, also enjoying a pampering spa day if you wish. Once you’ve recharged your batteries you can head out into the Derbyshire night, where in the Friar Gate area of central Derby you’ll find one of the country’s largest selections of real ale pubs, as well as bars and nightclubs hosting parties well into the night.

    As well as having so much to offer in the city itself, Derby is the UK’s most central city, so it’s an incredible base from where you can visit other parts of the UK. Most notably, it lies just 15 miles (around a 30-minute drive) south of the Peak District – one of the UK’s most scenic areas of outstanding natural beauty. There are a huge number of outdoor activities available, like archery days out or a mountain adventure scramble in Derbyshire countryside. Two of the UK's best attractions are also close by. Firstly, the Alton Towers resort hosts the UK’s best theme park: the more adventurous can be flung upside down 14 times on The Smiler, whilst kids enjoy the wonderful World of David Walliams. A second top destination is Chatsworth House: a stunning and beautifully preserved stately home known to have inspired Janes Austen to write Pride and Prejudice!

    Treat a loved one to a wonderful experience gift in Derby. With its prime location and the fantastic range of activities available in Derby and the surrounding area, it’s the perfect place for a UK city break with the family, or for a romantic getaway with your partner.

    Excellent intro to Studio Recording. However, musicians might be better off simply booking a couple of hours with a local studio to save money and be able to perform the music as well as the vocal. However, if you want to sing along to a backing track and have it recorded and mixed to a high standard... then this is ideal. I very much enjoyed it and it has encouraged me to book more studio time in the future - but i'll bring the instruments next time.
