What's on in Allenton

Allenton sits quietly in Derbyshire with a calm that makes for perfect reading weather, even if the rain is threatening to ruin your picnic plans. There are plenty of community gatherings and local fairs tucked around the neighbourhood where neighbours catch up without needing an invitation. The village hall hosts everything from bake sales to bingo nights, keeping spirits high no matter how grey the sky turns. It might not be a city centre, but it has that special kind of warmth you only find in smaller places. You can usually find a cinema showing old favourites or a theatre putting on something new without the crowd pushing you towards the exit. Near Here keeps track of what's playing so you don't have to waste time searching for a gig or a good meal.
