WE MADE IT 🎉🎉. Wakes 2025 you have been awesome. What a week in the sun! It’s been action packed and we are completely exhausted but happy to meet so many friends old and new. We are a truly special village, with some special people and we need to try and maintain that as long as possible.
Wakes would not be possible without the help and support from so many volunteers (Roger, Roy and David to name just a few!), the Carnival and Recreation Committee, the Oddfellows, Kirsty, Jane,Tom and the Sycamore Team and everyone at the Legion. So from me to you thank you. It’s time for a rest now but we will be back in 2026.
Signing off for now with a few of my favourite pictures (credit to Phil Cooke for some of them)….

The whole county, including Derby City, is about to embark on its most significant local government restructure in half a century.
The ten existing councils in the area – including Derbyshire Dales District Council – will become two new unitary authorities by April 2028.
There are going to be lots of changes, but, before any of that, your views are needed. An online public consultation is open until 10 August and takes just a few minutes to complete at bit.ly/Derbyshire-consultation
Here’s more background, including a detailed list of FAQs.
