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.

The Spring issue marks the time when nature begins to sing again. Embrace the joys of the outdoors with our ode to bird watching, perfect for those brighter mornings. Plus, with the new season comes the perfect excuse for a reset - our spring cleaning feature will help you welcome spring with clarity and calm. Step inside the Cromford studio of Alice Moylan, the talented maker behind Beauvamp lampshades. Looking ahead to 2026, we explore how to find your tribe through local groups, community events, and opportunities to connect with like-minded people right on your doorstep. With plenty more to discover, this issue is packed with uplifting stories, local inspiration, and everything you need to step into spring.
