What's on in Melbourne Common

Melbourne Common sits quietly in Derbyshire, a proper place to drop your keys and find what you need without fighting traffic. With no big venues right on the doorstep, the action usually drifts from the village square to the nearby market stalls where neighbours swap stories and recipes. It is easy to feel at home here when the local pubs host their own nights or the community hall puts on a play that brings the whole street out for tea afterwards. Sometimes you just want to wander down to the park and watch the children play while the weather holds firm. Other times, a gathering in the town centre means everyone stops what they are doing to see who has turned up this time. We keep track of all the local get-togethers so you do not have to waste an evening hunting for ideas when you could be enjoying a quiet cuppa instead.
