FRIENDS OF THE DERWENT

For Great Big Green Week, we're honoured to promote this inspiring and unique event next Thursday

The River Derwent flows right through our city. Rising in the Peak District, it's sustained communities for millennia, home to otters, kingfishers and dippers, and the life of the shire.

Yet it's been ranked the 5th most polluted river in England and Wales.

That's why we're hosting Friends of the Derwent's River Pilgrimage Celebration: a free evening of citizen science, poetry, ritual, and song.

Thursday 18 June : 7pm

39 Iron Gate, Derby city centre

This event also marks the beginning of our Reimagining TMV season.

Come help us reclaim our river — and our commons.

Meet at the river gardens at 6 for singing

Free & open to all.

We’re opening up after over a month of closure due to renovations - we moved everything out, with big changes for TMV inside & out. But before we move back in, we’re taking this opportunity to discuss the future of the Hub, and what role it plays in our city…

…With keys to an empty shop, we co-designed our hub, raised funds to build a kitchen, launched a community fridge, acquired a future-farm and with you, we grew a village. ...

So what now?
How can TMV best help our communities thrive thru crises?

Come to our reimagining event, and share your thoughts on the role of the hub in the city!

Free hot food and hot drinks ☕🥣

A friendly, inclusive Warm Welcome Hub to rest, connect, and feel supported.
