Socials

Welcome to our Socials page where you’ll find out about our upcoming day trips, nights out and adventure activities around Nottingham and Derby. We aim to fill the calendar with varied and fun events so if you want an event adding or have any ideas, please email the Social Coordinator.

Regular pub meets are held once a month in either Derby, Nottingham or Beeston. These are great fun whether you’re new or have been with the group for years. Share stories of walks, have a drink and catch up with friends.

Group meals are held regularly in Derby and Nottingham. We try to vary the choice (and cost) of cuisine on offer so keep checking back and see if there are any meals you fancy. If you’d like to see your favourite restaurant on there, tell us about it!

One off events are always welcomed. Fancy horse-riding, ice skating, Go Ape? If you want it, just tell us and we’ll make it happen.

See you in the pub soon!

  • Wed 9 Sep 2026 - Evening Nature Walk

    7:00 PM, Locko Park (near Spondon)

    Cast your minds back to the autumn… We had a guided nature walk at Curbar Edge, led by the knowledgeable Ant, of Natural Derbyshire Tours. We’re collaborating again, this time on September 9th at Locko Park near Spondon, for an evening walk starting at 7pm. We will be looking for hares, bats, deer and owls. The walk will be for around 2 hours on a good path.

    It’s the same deal as before… Members only and the cost will be £5 per person (payable on the day to Ant). Places will be limited to 12, so please contact Joanne by email at socials@ndwg.org.uk to bag your space. We need a minimum of 6 people for it to go ahead. Booking will close on September 1st at 7pm.
