Art at The Erewash Museum New dates - 20 November to 21 December 2024. Following our successful exhibition in 2023 we have been invited back to present a bigger exhibition which we hope will feature the Pentrich Revolution Appliqué as well as the Pentrich Quilt and the 45 paintings by local artists.

We have had a very busy summer with our walks programme in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (n.b. See below for important changes). Once again the Derby walk with a visit to Derby Gaol was a particular highlight. The Historical Fair, jointly planned with the Alfreton and District Heritage Group, was a great success with over 200 people attending.

The life of Jeremiah Brandreth by John Dring. These notes written by John himself before his untimely death are the basis of a forthcoming podcast. In 2016, when I sat down to write the biography of Jeremiah Brandreth, I was under no illusion of the difficulty in finding out about the life of a man who had lived over two hundred years ago.
