Compassionate Derby 2025

Now in its ELEVENTH year, Compassionate Derby is an ethical living event that is free to attend and where everyone is welcome!

There will be a range of cruelty-free food and lifestyle products, lots of free samples, charity and campaigning stalls, children’s activities, a diverse program of talks throughout the day, a generous raffle and much more. So head to St Peter’s Church, Derby for some ethical shopping and find out more about living a compassionate lifestyle.

Beyond ‘doing the least harm’ compassion means ‘doing the most good‘. Going vegan is a good start; by helping other go vegan you can make the world a better place for humans, other animals and the environment. Compassionate Derby is an excellent opportunity to join Veggies – the volunteer-led Vegan Catering Campaign.

All Welcome!

Demo at the Barlow Hunt Terrier, Lurcher and Family Dog Show

The Barlow Hunt are holding a terrier, lurcher and family dog show at their kennels on the 8th August. Lets remind them that the general public overwhelmingly opposes the hunting of foxes, and that when they are hosting events to raise money for the hunt we will be there.
 
Location: The Kennels, Horsleygate Road, Dronfield, S18 7WE
 
Meet at Owler Bar roundabout by the Peacock Pub at 10am. We will then split into two groups, with one group staying at the roundabout and the other group heading to the kennels.
 
Although we will be bringing some banners and fox costumes with us, we encourage you to get creative and bring your own sign.
 
****UPDATE****
– The always supportive and award winning Veggies will be joining us, providing not-for-profit vegan food and drinks (https://www.facebook.com/Veggiescatering)
– Two piece punk band Glitchers will be playing live (https://www.facebook.com/glitchersband)
