We will be collecting for the food bank on Sunday 1st June.
 

If you would like us to call and collect from outside of your house, please email back and let me know (marie.mcgirr@live.co.uk). We will not knock-on doors to collect, just pick up from outside from around 10am on Sunday. If we usually collect from your house, we will continue to do so unless you let us know otherwise

The Red Cross collection box will be outside 22 Wheeldon Avenue until Sunday afternoon

A return of a local favourite! The July walk is the Stones Walk which gives the opportunity to check on the restoration of All Saints’ Church in Mackworth village. The walk is 5 miles long with a couple of easy stiles. There may be livestock in the a field or two and, as ever, sturdy footwear of muddy conditions is recommended.

Meet at 75 Wheeldon Ave at 10.30. No car sharing needed as this is the starting point. If you are driving for some reason, then see Activity page for contact details and check with Lyn about meeting at Markeaton Mundy car park.

Plan is to stop at the Potting Shed on the way back but you may wish to bring snacks/ drinks to keep you going while walking and talking. Well behaved dogs on leads always welcome.

Playing Out is all about Active Play - ie children having more freedom to play outside than is usually possible given today’s level of traffic. The idea is to have fun - safely.

All residents are welcome to come along and chat. If you have children with you, you are responsible for them throughout.

Information on Six Streets Playing Out here

If this date is rained off, then the event will take place on the second Friday of the month.

The street is closed to through traffic as we have road closure orders from the council. This does not affect residents leaving/ arriving as they are not passing through. Stewards will stop the children playing and shepherd you out or in to a parking space - though we very much appreciate it when residents choose to park up outside the play area to avoid the disruption.

Check out the Activities Page for contact details

 The walk in June will take place on Sunday, 30th June, so please pop the date in your diary. Normal time 10 30

We invite you to join us for a delightful morning of literary exchange, coffee, and neighbourly camaraderie at our new Community Book Swap event @ the Jonty Farmer

What to expect:

Please participate in the Book Bonanza by bringing along your gently-used books which you would like to pass on to new readers. Simply lay them out on our swap table and browse the diverse selection brought by fellow book enthusiasts. At the end of the session any of your books that haven’t been swapped, are naturally yours to take back home, or if left behind will be boxed up and stored for the next time.

You will discover a wide range of genres, from gripping thrillers to heartwarming romances, thought-provoking non-fiction to whimsical children's books. You may just discover your next favourite book!

Hi fellow walkers,

we hope you are enjoying the recent glorious weather. We are struggling to find a mutually convenient day for our May walk so  rather than miss the month completely we are offering Friday, 24th May for an afternoon walk. We will meet outside 75 Wheeldon Avenue at 2pm and we will head to Dovedale.

It will be our normal 5 miles and we'll stop half way in Milldale for a rest and refreshments. One of the beautiful cottages doubles up as a shop offering hot & cold drinks, cakes, sandwiches, ice cream, etc.

Once refreshed we can make our way back either re-tracing our steps or via an alternative but slightly more adventurous route. We will decide on the day depending on who joins us.

Both will be delightful because this whole area is just so beautiful. The main route is easy terrain but we always recommend suitable walking footwear. After the walk we might suggest we stop at The Peveril of the Peak for an early doors drink in their super garden.

Car share will be available on the usual first come first served basis and prior notice of who can offer car share / who needs it is always helpful. Well behaved dogs on a lead also welcome.

We hope to see you soon, Lyn & Peter

 The walk in June will take place on Sunday, 30th June, so please pop the date in your diary. Normal time 10 30

Join us for an evening of camaraderie, fun, and good times. Everyone's welcome, whether you're new or a long-time resident, on your own or coming down with friends. Get a drink, mingle, and make connections in a laid-back atmosphere. Our goal is to bring people together and foster meaningful friendships.

Well behaved children are welcome in the Jonty until 9pm, and obviously everyone is welcome to make an evening of it, but the event officially draws to a close at 7.30pm.  

What's so great about The Six Streets Social?

* Expand your social network and make new friends.

* Get to know your neighbours: Strengthen ties with them and rekindle a sense of community.

* Children are welcome, and weather permitting, they can enjoy the rear garden play area.

* Take time to relax and unwind at your local pub with you enjoy a drink of your choice.

* Come join us at our first meetup to experience Six Streets' warmth and hospitality.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook at Six Streets Derby for updates and event announcements.

Cheers to new beginnings!
