The Peak District & Derbyshire is packed with things to do and places to visit this holiday season – whether you're avoiding the crowds on a long walk or bike ride through the hills and dales, or in the thick of it stocking up on seasonal fayre and gifts, you can't fail to get into the Christmas spirit!
When it comes to shopping, there's so much choice – from traditional Christmas shopping in pretty villages and bustling market towns, right through to the sophisticated city shopping experience of Derby.
If getting away from the holiday rush is more your thing, the region's stunning landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for a weekend or short break away from it all.
What's more, all accommodation on the Visit Peak District website is quality assured so you can rest assured that your stay will be enjoyable and relaxing, whether you choose a cosy guest house, self-catering cottage or an upmarket boutique hotel.
There's a wide range of events and activities to help you fill your days and evenings, too – from pantos, festivals and theatre to Christmas markets, fairs and much more – for a taster of the events to come, check out Castleton's Christmas lights, Christmas at Chatsworth, Chesterfield's Christmas Ghost Walks, Winter Wonderland at Conkers in South Derbyshire and Derby city's Christmas Playground.
Over the coming weeks we'll be adding more events and diary dates, as well as ideas and offers to help you get the best out of our region, so bookmark this page and check back again soon!
