Night owl

Do you come alive when the sun goes down? In Derby you’ll have plenty of opportunity for memorable nights out. 

Whether it’s the typical student bars around campus you’re visiting for a quick drink, or a night out in the city, there’s many venues to choose from.

From chilling out whilst having a game of darts or pool in a real ale pub, to sipping fancy cocktails in bars, and dancing in clubs, Derby has everything to offer when it comes to the nightlife experience.

We have plenty of fantastic restaurants and bars like Revolution and Turtle Bay to whet your appetite, before you can move on to nightclubs such as Popworld to really kickstart your evening.

Derby is also a Purple Flag city, meaning we meet the five core standards required and are seen as excellent when managing the evening and night-time economy.

Make many lifelong memories experiencing the nightlife in Derby!
