More about The Holmes

Derbyshire, England

The Holmes sits quietly in Derbyshire where the hills rise up to meet you and the air tastes a little more like rain than most places. There are no famous venues listed just yet but that just means the local community is keeping things real without needing a stage or a marquee. It is a spot where neighbours know each other by sight and a gig here might just be a neighbour turning up with a guitar. We keep an eye on what's brewing in the valley so you do not have to trek miles for entertainment that could wait until next month. Whether it is a market stall popping up near the village green or a quiet evening at a local hall, we track it all down. Near Here means you can plan your weeknight walk without checking a dozen websites on a Sunday morning.
