This is an area of extremes, with large cities like Derby, and wild Hill country like the Peak District. If you're thinking of hiring a band in the winter, there in mind that if you are holding the event in some wild location in the peaks, up steep singletrack roads, that the guests and musicians may have great difficulty getting through to you. Fortunately, it is exceptionally rare whether to stop things happening, and musicians always very dedicated at doing everything they can possibly do to get event. If the band can't get there, then the guests aren't likely to get there either.

The gritstone uplands of the Derbyshire Peak District are at the centre of the North Midlands. Derbyshire's stately homes at Chatsworth, Haddon and Kedleston owe much to the mellow beauty of the yellow and grey building stones of the county. South Derbyshire lacks the rugged grandeur of the Dales and the Peak District further north, but it is fine walking country, with large areas of soft, undulating, pastoral scenery through which rivers meander lazily. To the west the River Dove, coming down from the Dales, winds along the Staffordshire border to meet the River Trent. Further east the Trent is joined by the Derwent, which flows through Derby. The soil in this area is deep and rich, producing good crops of wheat and barley, much of which goes to the breweries at Burton upon Trent across the Staffordshire border. Clay found around Swadlincote is used for the town's pottery industry, an extension of the Staffordshire potteries.

As long ago as the Norman Conquest, Derby had a population of more than 2000 and no fewer than six churches. In 1717 England's first silk mill was established in Derby by Thomas Cotchet and John Lombe, who produced silk which became famous throughout Europe. Some of the city's finest i8th-century houses date from this period, and the wrought-iron gates of the silk mill still stand near the public library.

Industry expanded rapidly in the middle of the iQth century with the building of the Midland Railway's great locomotive and coach works, now run by British Rail. Derby is the home of Rolls-Royce. In one of the city's 20 parks, the Arboretum, stands a monument to the engineer Sir Henry Royce who, in partnership with the Hon. C. S. Rolls, the businessman, established the firm in Derby in 1908.

Burton upon Trent is a town known since the Middle Ages as the centre of British brewing, and pervaded by a scent of hops and malt. Michael Bass, who became Lord Burton and gave the town some of its finest buildings, among them the town hall and the churches of St Paul and St Modwen. There are three bridges with views of the Trent: the wide, modern bridge; the old wood and iron Ferry Bridge; and a footbridge which connects the market-place to Andressy Island, the site of the Ox Hay children's playground and gardens.

Matlock is a resort on the Derwent among woodlands and hills, with dramatic views of peaks and crags. The Heights of Abraham, 750 ft above the town, are said to have been named by an officer who fought under General Wolfe, because of their resemblance to the heights scaled in the capture of Quebec.

Matlock was a spa in Victorian times and is today a popular inland tourist resort. The Lido has two swimming-pools, and the Derwent Gardens have been transformed into a nocturnal fairyland.

From Matlock Dale there are easy paths up to the formidable-looking peak of High Tor, 380 ft above the dale. Riber Castle, now a ruined landmark with four tall corner towers, was built by John Smedley, a textile manufacturer, in 1862.

Crich is a village on a hill—its name comes from a word meaning 'hill'—with fine views. It is noted for its Tramway Museum, containing 40 trams of the iqth and 2oth centuries, housed in a disused quarry. The exhibits include a Sheffield horse-drawn tram of 1874, in which visitors can ride, and a Prague tram brought from Czechoslovakia just before the Russian invasion of 1968. Just above the quarry, flashing 950 ft up, is the Beacon Light, a war memorial to the Nottingham and Derbyshire Regiment, the 'Sherwood Foresters'.

Bakewell is a valley town on the Wye surrounded by richly wooded hills stretching to high moorland. Its fine arched and buttressed bridge was built nearly 700 years ago, while the brown stone buildings, which have a warmth of colouring unusual in Peakland, mostly date from the I7th and 18th centuries. Outstanding are the Old Market Hall, Old Town Hall and Holme Hall, a mansion built in 1626.

Bath House is another brown stone building, built in 1697 for the Duke of Rutland. It is still fed by warm springs which were known in Roman times. The town's name comes from the Saxon bad-quell meaning 'bath well'.

Ashbourne is one of the most attractive market towns in Derbyshire, often called 'the gateway to the Peak', as it stands on the fringe of the Peak District National Park. In Church Street is the I3th to 14th-century Church of St Oswald, one of the most handsome parish churches in England, with a spire 212 ft high. The church is renowned for its 18th-century white marble sculpture of Penelope Boothby by Thomas Banks. She was the daughter of a local family and died aged five in 1791. The church also contains several monuments and effigies of the Cokaynes, a notable local family in the 1$th and 16th centuries. Sir John

Marquee, Camping & Caravanning Club Site,  Belper Road,  Hulland Ward,  Ashbourne,  Derbyshire.  , DE6 3EN, Derbyshire

  this a great place to have a party, at a caravan and camping club site. The caravan and camping club have a very laid-back social philosophy that allows this to happen. I'm not sure that the caravan and motorhome club (formerly the Caravan club) do things like this, though they do organise club events which are often not on club sites, and do on many occasions involved qualifications of one sort or another. Campers obviously enjoy being outdoors, fit and energetic, so always love ceilidhs and dance enthusiastically. Caravanners (I'm one of them) can be very similar, or can be the kind of people who like to sit in their caravan and watch TV, just as if they were at home, but with a different view. I would have guessed that on this occasion there was plenty of wild dancing, but I can't find the report from the ceilidh band to confirm this. But then nobody goes the effort and expense of hiring a ceilidh band unless they expect to dance enthusiastically. It would be a waste of time.

Although Buxton is one of the highest towns in England, at 1007 ft, Buxton is sheltered by the even higher hills surrounding it. It is a spa town and owes its fame to the 5th Duke of Devonshire who, at the end of the i8th century, built the town's beautiful Crescent as a rival to fashionable Bath. The Devonshire Royal Hospital, opened in 1859, has a dome 156 ft in diameter, one of the widest in the world. Buxton's springs, charged with nitrogen and carbon gas, well up from great depths at a constant temperature of 28°C (8z°F), just as they did in

Roman times. The water, unlike most spa water, is pleasant to drink. Spas have lost much of their appeal today, but Buxton is still attracting visitors because of its fine situation and the facilities it offers for every kind of sport, as well as concerts and drama. It has two golf courses, and there is an indoor spa-water swimming pool in The Pavilion, which is set in 23 acres of gardens and has also a theatre and concert hall.

Corbar Woods, only half a mile from the Crescent, offer pleasant walks, and there are splendid views from nearby Corbar Hill. Ash wood Dale is an attractive valley, about a mile from the town centre to the east. Lovers' Leap, in the dale, is a huge natural cleft in the limestone rock where, according to tradition, two runaway lovers on a horse leapt the chasm to avoid pursuit. To the north-west there are splendid views of the Goyt Valley from the main road which zigzags its way down towards Whaley Bridge.
