We have received the following press release from Friends of the Peak District:
Countryside lover Isabella Stone is looking forward to spending a day in one of the Peak District’s most attractive gardens on 8 September.
Isabella Stone
Isabella lives in Matlock and is Chair of local charity Friends of the Peak District. She is a keen gardener, and has organised an exclusive event at the grounds of the Grade II Hall in Parwich.
“The gardens at Parwich Hall are absolutely delightful at any time of the year, and we’re hoping for a sunny September day so that people can really enjoy the late roses and vegetable garden in its full glory. There are some really fine views of the countryside from the terraces,” she said.
“Our charity is committed to looking after the amazing landscapes of the Peak District. I love looking around fabulous gardens, so when the chance to combine my two passions came up, I grabbed it! We are so grateful to Robert and Alice Shields for opening Parwich Hall gardens to us.”
“We do hope that people will join us to enjoy some refreshments and get an insiders’ peek into this beautiful place, while at the same time supporting a really worthwhile local cause,” she added.

Tickets are still on sale for this year’s Y-Not Festival, which takes place from Friday August 3rd to Sunday August 5th at the usual location in Pikehall. The festival has expanded since its early days, with several indoor stages, an acoustic tent, an excellent beer tent and much more besides, but it still retains its friendly, small-scale atmosphere. As the organisers report that they are now close to selling out, swift action is recommended for those who might be interested.
Click here for the Y-Not Festival website.
Update: Also performing at Y-Not, in the Hog & Barrel tent at 7pm on the Saturday, will be Parwich’s very own The A52s.

The weather was kind for today’s Odd Fellows procession. There was an excellent turn out too, both from the village and from members of Odd Fellows groups from several other regions. Everyone was made very welcome by the various hosts along the route where refreshments were provided. A very pleasant event indeed!

Ashbourne (entertainment from 4pm)
Local schools will join in the festivities in Ashbourne, starting from 4pm.
Entertainment includes a Caribbean band and arts exhibition at the Town Hall, dancing in the Market Place, the Highland Gathering Pipe Band and what is expected to be the largest collection of Royal Shrovetide balls, goalers and turners up in the 1000-year plus history of the ancient game, followed by a Shrovetide Procession led by Ashbourne Town Band and the Chairman of the District of the Derbyshire Dales Cllr Tony Millward.
Look out too for District Council sports activities outside Waitrose, community dancing in Compton and Ashbourne Singers in Victoria Square. Please note: to accommodate the entertainment, Dig Street will be closed from 4pm.
At 6pm, the Torch will arrive in Ashbourne at the top of Buxton Hill, then travel through the Market Place, turn right onto St John Street (against the usual one-way flow) and left into Dig Street, working through to Compton. The Relay will revert to convoy mode at the bottom of Derby Road.
Space for children to watch the Torch Relay has been allocated in the town centre – please respect the designated schools’ viewing area.
After leaving the Derbyshire Dales the Torch Relay makes its way to Derby for an evening celebration – details online at derby.gov.uk.
