If you do not answer our 100 questions via @DerbyCommunityHub:Qs!, then Derby can not improve! Lets make sure we improve Derby together... Turning the motto around, now our feedback changes the planet... Derby is the home of innovation, education & technology
In these 12 days of Christmas, we want to use this past year to benchmark for this year, so we ask you: "Which country/religious twist theme should we apply to our next Christmas 2026?"
Every part of our world has something to offer, from hope, to new ways of life; with safe places to meet new people, taste new flavours, do new activities that open up the mind and help us all feel more in tune of our surroundings.
So next time we do our event in Derby, god give us the chance to run our own event, alongside providing frameworks & structure to everyone else who wants to do something for Christmas of 2026... In response to Derby's marketing @DerbyCC - "Christmas means where all parties, regardless of conflict, have new light to make new beginnings, new elevations and new solidarities. To a life of learning, where we find purpose to aid all of our creators creature comforts."
Lets pivot this into a directive to ensure we can keep in tune with all events that we can, to spark interest and keep our citizens of Derby active in learning and community development.
