Harry Potter fans! 🧙 Did you know Malfoy Manor is in Derbyshire? 🤩🎬

The impressive Hardwick Hall near Chesterfield was transformed into Malfoy Manor in ‘The Deathly Hallows’ Harry Potter film 🏰✨

Built by Bess of Hardwick in the 1500s, this National Trust gem also doubled up as a royal palace for the ‘Mary Queen of Scots’ film starring Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan 👑

The hall is home to a unique collection of the finest 16th and early 17th-century needlework, furniture and original portraits, and is surrounded by acres of beautiful parkland 🌿

DRONE VALLEY BREWERY BARREL RUN 🏃
CELEBRATING OUR 2026 GREEN MAN IPA
📅 Sunday 27th September | 2pm
📍 Drone Valley Brewery to Cross Daggers Pub Coal Aston.

We’re looking for at least 10 teams of up to 4 runners to take on our Barrel Run!

👥 Teams of up to 4
💷 Just £10 per team (to cover cost of insurance)
🏃 Less than 3 miles — a mixture of trail and road
And… the barrels are EMPTY!

The challenge? Your team needs to get its barrel from start to finish without letting it touch the ground. Carry it by hand, on your shoulder, between you or however your team decides! Just keep that barrel off the floor no wheels allowed.

It’s all about having a fun time, working together and hopefully finishing with a well-earned pint! 🍺
⚠️ Places are limited, so don’t leave it until the last minute! If you fancy giving it a go, get your team of four together and sign up from now. You can secure your place for just £2.50 per person if you have your teammates sorted 😉.

Want to take part? Email [email protected] we'll get the entry form to you. Entries can be paid from now at £2.50 per person for team of four and £5.00 per person for team of two.
Now Who’s brave enough to carry the barrel? 🛢️🏃
