Belper River Gardens
Enjoy the sunny summer weather in the great outdoors and pay the Belper River Gardens a visit. This gorgeous location is filled with stunning scenery, as well as a children’s playground to keep the kids entertained. There is also lots of wildlife so you can enjoy the natural beauty of the river while watching the ducks paddle about and local birds flying overhead. You can either take your own food and enjoy a picnic lunch or visit the cafe for tea and a cake.
The Ritz Cinema
It may well be summertime, but England doesn’t always get the memo! If it is forecast to be a rainy day then there are still plenty of indoor activities to be enjoying with your family. Why not treat yourself and your loved ones to a silver screen experience in the Ritz Cinema? This independent cinema hosts all the latest movies in a stylish theatre where you can opt for purple seats, black Italian leather luxury seats or go all out with pink sofas! It doesn’t matter if it’s raining if you’re kicking back and enjoying a film with copious amounts of popcorn.
Derby Computer Museum
If your kids are computer obsessed then they are going to love the Derby Computer Museum, take them back in time to see the beginnings of their beloved PC. It’ll also be a blast from the past for any older family members and they can remind the younger ones just how good they have it! Have a fun family day out surrounded by 70s/80s microcomputers or discover rare game consoles. There’s an extra bonus if you have a PlayStation fan on your hands – the Japanese room will be a dream come true! In this room, they can discover older versions of PlayStation, Sega and Nintendo.
