What's on in Dunston

Derbyshire, England

Dunston sits quietly in Derbyshire with a charm that feels entirely its own. It is the kind of place where you can walk past a field and find yourself humming along to a local band without even knowing their name. The village hall often hosts community gatherings that bring everyone together for tea and chat. There are plenty of ways to spend an afternoon here, from dropping into a café to watching the rain slide off the roof tiles. You might catch a play at one of the local stages or join a group for a walk along the nearby hills. Near Here keeps track of what is on so you do not have to guess what is happening next door.

Afternoon Tea with Ida

Register Here Why Afternoon Tea? Ida Day Holzapfel was extremely dedicated to the library during her time here. Her dedication and achievements had a long-lasting impact on the library and Hutchinson.  During her time at the library she and her assistants cataloged every single book for the first time, began outreach and home deliveries, moved the library to its current location at 9th and Main, and started the Bookmobile program. We’ve learned about her through stories passed down over time. Her dedication to the library could make her difficult to work with at times, especially if she felt her coworkers didn’t share her dedication to the library. Nonetheless, she cared very much for the library and the community it serves. She was described as a very proper woman and had afternoon tea at 3:00 PM every day with her employees. It’s very fitting to celebrate her 138th birthday with afternoon tea. Our library has continued to grow and provide vital services to Hutchinson, continuing the work she began over 100 years ago.  The programs and services we offer have grown substantially over the years while the cost to Hutchinson has remained low, something that has always been important to our mission. Celebrate with us by bringing your fanciest tea cup for afternoon tea on Monday, April 20th at 3:00 PM.
