If you’re just getting started when the sun goes down, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for big nights out. Whether you’re visiting the typical student haunts around campus with course mates or going for a night out in the city, you’ll always find something to do.

From playing darts or pool in chilled out real ale pubs to sipping fancy cocktails in lively upmarket bars and dancing all night in clubs, you really will be able to live for the night in Derby. And all within walking distance of your accommodation!

  1. Go to MooMoo Nightclub for late night partying
  2. Dance it out at Popworld
  3. Fun, cocktails and wings await at Bunk
  4. Food, live sport, and a private gaming room - go find The Hideout

With plenty of great restaurant/bars like The Distillery and Turtle Bay to fuel up beforehand or fast food takeaways to grab a snack at the end of the night, you can be sure that your Derby nights out will give plenty of food for thought. And where better to recover the following day than relaxing in one of Derby’s many parks. Try Markeaton Park opposite Kedleston Road, or Darley Park near the city centre.
