Some nights there is kareoke which is a great laugh. There is quite a large outside area for when you want to pop outside to get some air. I like the fact that the toilets are right near the dancefloor so you don't have to battle with windy corridoors or stairs when you've had a few too many drinks!

The Cineworld cinema in Burton is situated in a large complex off Guild Street, that also includes…read moreMecca Bingo and Frankie and Bennys, amongst others. The large car park requires you to take a ticket and then pay as you leave at the pay booths; the price skyrocketing to £5 after two hours! However,the cinema gives you a ticket that gives you four free hours or if you go in the evening, the car park is free. The cinema itself has an impressive glass fronted opening into a foyer area, with a wall a televisions showing film previews and music videos. There is also an entertainment area and machine where you can pay for and collect your prepaid cinema tickets. This cinema is always busy, especially at night and absolutely packed on 'Orange Wednesdays'! Prices are a little on the expensive side, but the screens themselves are air conditioned, spacious and have very comfortable seats. The Deluxe cinema with slightly more expensive tickets even has a small bar! As usual as in any cinema, the refreshments - popcorn, hot dogs, soft drinks etc. are ridiculously expensive, the advantage of a captive audience! Overall great for watching the local blockbusters, but a little on the pricey side

Cineworld is a very friendly cinema to go to, the staff there are always chatty and join in with me…read moreand my friends when we're having silly conversations. The car park is big (attached to 2 big stores also) and there is always somewhere to park. There's an arcade inside if you show up early to ensure you get tickets or if you want to hang around with your friends after. Also the staff will be there to help you out if there is somebody in there ruining the film. Once there were some kids throwing things around so we went to get a member of staff who stood in the room watching the kids so they wouldn't do it again. It is very well air conditioned though so make sure you take a jacket!

A Fascinating Day Out…read more We got a discount vouchers for this place and thought it might be interesting and it certainly was. Our guide whose name escape me just now was an absolute joy to listen to as using his knowledge he brought the whole tour alive. From the ingredients in beer to the brewing process through the ages including some beautiful vintage vehicles to the steam engine what was supposed to last 11/2 hours ended up being at least 2 hours not that it seemed to be that long. All in all we had a great time so much so that we intend to return and would certainly recommend it.

This has recently re-opened as the National Brewery Centre and has had a bit of a facelift. It is a…read moresmall museum which shows the history of brewing in Burton with a mix of machinery, video displays and wall boards. A family ticket - two adults and two children - is £27.50 which covers the museum and four drinks tasters (1/7th pint each) per person (squash for the kids, beer for the grown-ups). There is plenty of free parking. Sadly the whole thing was a bit of a disappointment. Most of the video displays were broken, the shire horses were out, and there was very little actually to experience. Anything interesting was cordoned off, so we could look at the outside of a bus, a train, some machinery, but not get close. Basically it is a small museum, with a couple of rooms of stuff in but not much to engage with. It is hard to see how they justify the new grander name of "The National Brewery Centre" and £27.50 is even harder to justify. When I was there they were doing some development work, so I hope they are expanding and improving. As of today though, one to miss.

This is an interesting Georgian house, it serves as a museum of 18th and 19th century urban upper…read moremiddle class life in Derby. The museum is a 15 minute walk from the city centre approx. Pickford's House Museum is free of charge. It's not a huge place, so you won't be spending more than 45-50 minutes there. The exhibit consists of furniture and everyday objects from the 18th and 19th centuries, "peopled" with display dummies in period costumes. You cannot walk into the actual rooms on the ground floor, they're shielded with glass panes. On the upper floor there are small displays of chinaware as well as small figurines. There is nothing spectacular about this place, but the Pickford House Museum does offer an intriguing glimpse into another time. And when you're going to the Derby Art Gallery anyway, you might as well walk further and pay this place a visit. It's free after all.
