Should the Big Screen Return to Derby City?

Written by Murray: I know there used to be a pop-up Big Screen in the Market Place – it showed Puccini's Tosca back in 2007. It would be great if the Big Screen made a comeback. It could show Wimbledon each year and there could be squash, strawberries and cream for families. Imagine everyone in the Market Place cheering and waving their Team GB flags. It could show the Commonwealth Games 2022 from 28 July to 8 August. Bunting could be hung all around the Market Place with GB flags on them, along with the other countries of the Commonwealth. The restaurants could bring out food and refreshments throughout the day. It would be great if we could do something similar for the Olympics in 2024, too. We could also show films like the Back to the Future trilogy , and opera and theatre shows throughout the Summer for everyone.

Wildflower areas on Derby City parks

Written by Murray: Following on from having solar farms built next to new housing developments, with woodland and wildflower ecosystems, how about adding more wildflower areas to Derby City parks. This would be great for wedding photos, family reunions, school, college and university graduations. What do you think? Would you like to see wildflower areas on Derby City parks?

Quiz Night in Derby Arena

Written by Murray: Well, pub quizzes are very popular in pubs up and down Derby and Derbyshire. Teams come back week in, week out to play and it’s a good social event in pubs' social calendars. How about a bigger quiz night held at Derby Arena? Teams could try to win bigger prizes. Teams from all around Derby, Derbyshire and the East Midlands could enter over the summer holidays and the event could be held on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon or early evening. What do you think? Would you like to see a quiz night held at Derby Arena? I think it would be a great to add it to the Derby Arena calendar. If you like the idea post a comment below. We really do appreciate the feedback.
