Tideswell Food Festival Saturday 7th May
A
t the beginning of May, Tideswell is going to become a Foodie Paradise
for a day. There will be rolling demos in the School of Food and hopefully the excellent foods from our local shops can be highlighted. In addition, we hope there will be a whole host of food-related activities around the village (see below).
This is a real showcase for the village, and we hope that everyone who wants to will get involved – if you’ve got an idea, please share it and we can all try and make it happen. The whole event will be filmed by the BBC, so if you fancied being on the small screen, this could be your chance!
Contact the School of Food with any ideas or suggestions: pop a note through the letter box, or call 01298 871262 or email

Tideswell Singers will bring their own selection of songs about food and drink to the bill of fare with the final course being a mass rendition of ‘Food, Glorious Food!

1936 and All That O
n March 10th our local history club was treated to a photographic tour of southern and eastern Derbyshire.
Keith and Shirley Thomas showed their lapse-dissolve programme of amazingly clear slides to give an insight into places where we might not normally venture. Beautiful places like Melbourne, Repton and Osmaston were shown and they even showed the cross at the roadside at Kings Newton. This is of a pretty rare type because the inscription tells us that it commemorates King Edward the Eighth in 1936. Perhaps they were a bit too quick off the mark down south!
There were also photos of Crich Transport Museum, clypping the church at Wirksworth, the windmill at Heage and the intriguing Halterdevil Chapel. (This concerns a drunken farmer who having put a halter round one of his cows instead of his horse - mistook its horns for the Devil - promptly gave up drink and built the chapel out of remorse.
Closer to home they related the story of the Heights of Abraham cablecar causing trouble for the management because of a neighbours wish to continue with her topless sunbathing. Come and join us - we get to hear all sorts of stories !
The next meeting is in the institute at 8pm on April 14th when we will have an important talk about the Fitzherberts of Tissington Hall.
