The Winter issue embraces the season in all its depth and stillness, bringing together inspiring stories from across Derbyshire. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful wellness insights in our Winter Well feature, along with profiles of ceramicist Scott Allan, Pursuing the Past founder Rebecca Merrifield, and Jade Devall of Design 44. We explore the centuries-old tradition of wassailing, visit some of the county’s cosiest fireside pubs, and guide you on a crisp winter walk from Osmaston to Shirley. Our postcards this month are from South Derbyshire, an often forgotten part of our county and we head to some of the county’s best wintery food spots, Arthurs in Belper and The Packhorse in Little Longstone. It’s an issue shaped by warmth, creativity and the quiet magic of Derbyshire in winter.
