1 Inspiring Derby 2018 Monday 18 June to Saturday 23 June2 Inspiring Derby 201822 years of inspiration!Since 1995 we have held a week of events and activities to showcase the inspiring city of Derby. Organisations from across the city, led by Derby City Council s adult Learning Service, have come together to showcase and celebrate what the city has to offer. The week is packed full of opportunities to have a go and learn something new, to have a look behind the scenes at some of our leading businesses or to find out more about the history and heritage of Derby by visiting some of its unique buildings. I hope you enjoy this year s programme of events, most of which are free of charge.
